Do you ever struggle to find the feeling of a song? Don't know what to do when your dance partner let's go? Or feel stuck repeating the same moves, unable to develop your own style? This class is for you!

Join us to learn the basics of grooving to music solo and discover your unique flow. In this class, we aim to help you:

1) Develop your own style.
2) Gain confidence dancing on your own.
3) Improve the quality of your movements by feeling more grounded and connected.
4) Learn to channel music through your movements.

Let's get grooving!

Children love to dance, and so do we. The Western Hemisphere has a richness of many infectious dance rhythms that come from the fusion of cultures through the messy course of history, and we think they are worth sharing.

Children's dance classes are often focused on European dances like ballet, but we believe that children benefit a lot from learning how to groove instead of learning to make their body conform to certain aesthetics.

This Thursday at 7pm, we will be giving a talk with performances sponsored by Butler Area Public Library at the Butler Little Theater

It will unpack the entangled history and evolution of dance in the Western Hemisphere through demonstrations of dances that weave layers of meaning across centuries and continents. The story of our dances is a captivating, painful, and beautiful story.

Also unique about this presentation is the use of theoretical computer science methods to study dance evolution. You won't want to miss it.

Address:
Butler Little Theatre, 1 Howard St, Butler, PA 16001, USA

Reminder: Rueda de Casino class is cancelled this Saturday Oct 7; resuming next Saturday Oct 14 at 2pm.
