About this Event
What better way is there to celebrate the Holidays?ππ ... and work off some of those Holiday calories at the same time? ππ€πͺ π°π§
... than by DANCING?? π
Consequently DanceSport Dupont Circle will offer Dance-&-Learn social practice parties on the evenings of Christmasπ & New Year'sπ Day.
Join us for earlier beginner level mini-classes in Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Ballroom Foxtrot or Waltz ... (those attending decide which Ballroom dance ... maybe both by night's end), Swing (there are 4 styles of swing; East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop & Jive ... you decide which one π), Country / Western 2-step & Argentine Tango beginner basics from 5:00-6:30pm, followed by teacher-assisted social dancing & practice from 6:30-8:30pm.
Later in the evening ... some of our infamous apple pie π₯§ (or maybe cherry, or blueberry or maybe all 3 by Showtime π) warm & right from the oven with π§ ice cream π¨.
Come early or come later after dinner, but COME! A great Holiday date night where all are welcome, including singles, couples, same-gender couples & the sight & hearing impaired. Wheelchair elevator access is available.
