Ballroom Dance and West Coast Swing Dance

Ballroom Dance & West Coast Swing Beginner / Brush Up
A fun, no stress way to learn ballroom dancing and Salsa. Students will learn 3 or 4 basic steps for Swing, Foxtrot, Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba. West Coast Swing is a contemporary-style of Swing, very different from traditional “swing.” It is by far, the fastest growing social dance for its versatility, and the variety of music you can dance to. No partner required. Prior students welcome back. Two left feet welcome. Wear leather or suede soled party shoes. Instructor Natalie Mazzola is a former amateur 10 dance champion, and a teacher for over 20 years at the Vitti’s School of Dance in Danbury, CT.
