New and more advanced LGBT Country/Western Two Step & Waltz, plus Latin and Ballroom & Swing classes in DC on Saturday mornings and early afternoons starting March 12. Geared toward more advanced beginner & intermediate dancers going to Gay Games, Chicago, 2006 & the 1st World OutGames, Montreal, 2006, these classes are both for those competing in any of the 3 dance styles that will be offered for the first time in 2006 or merely for social dancing as spectators. As a spectator you'll definitely want to dance all 3 styles with the many other dancers from around the world during the many social events that are sure to be scheduled in Chicago and Montreal. Absolutely no partner or previous dance experience necessary to attend. Two levels of teachers will be made available at the same time as the level of dancing progresses. Also, one need not necessarily be planning to attend in 2006 to participate in these classes.
Schedule:
10:30am Two Step and/or Country Waltz (1/2 hour of a more advanced pattern
in each, if requested)
11:30am Beginner Cha Cha
12:30pm Social Ballroom & Swing (1/2 hour of technique and turn-patterns
in each)
Cost: $10.00 for the first class, $6.00 second class, $4.00 3rd class. Your
first class taught by Terry at the Chevy Chase Ballroom, however is FREE (download
the "1st-class-is-free pass" at GayDanceSPORT.com), which does not
exclude those having attended any previous dance "events", such
as Lambda DanceSPORT Sundays, The
Sunday Salsa & Latin Social or Dance-&-Learn
Parties. Also by bringing in a Gay

class is reduced by $2 and 1/3 of the amount paid goes to the designated 501c3.
