In April the SaddleBrooke Ballroom Dance Club (SBDC) Introductory classes will be Waltz and Rumba. Originating in 18th century Europe, the waltz is an iconic style, emphasizing flowing movements and graceful turns around the dance floor that always make you look good. The rumba, which originated in Cuba, gained popularity as it spread across the U.S. and internationally in the early 20th century. It is a slower dance with more rhythmic hip motion and expressive connection between partners.
Both classes will be taught by our resident professional instructors Ann and Dale Pizzitola. They teach dance steps with a method that is easy to learn, and they are extremely patient and know how to encourage progress. The two featured dance styles will give dancers a balanced foundation—combining elegance and romantic expression in a fun, supportive learning environment.
Classes will be held on Wednesday, April 1 and 8, at 5:30 p.m. in the Mariposa Room at DesertView. There will also be a Review Session on Wednesday, April 22, also at 5:30 p.m. in the Mariposa Room.

Level 2 and 3 Classes
The featured class for April is east coast swing. Both levels are offered on Sunday afternoons and Tuesday evenings, beginning on Tuesday, April 7. These classes are for those who want something more than introductory patterns, as well as those who have been dancing for quite some time. They are free for club members; however, registration is required, so please sign up online.
