Dr. Mark Magdanz
Classes are filling rapidly for a mid-July kickoff of a nine lesson series.
This spring series over 100 dancers are spending time in the comfortable air conditioning of HOA1, HOA2 and SaddleBrooke Ranch. As always, lots of dance steps (about 4,000 to 5,000 per class are being added to daily fitness recommendations. Line dance is a fun, educational and quick way to add life to your years here in our community. Meet new friends and solidify old ones with common interests. Professional instruction and observation keep you safer and help you learn faster. Two to three parties per year on the dance floor allow you to showcase your talents. Instructor Rebecca Magdanz now has multiple dances on instructor international websites. With the gracious help of Gary Hammond of Sights and Sounds, videos of her choreography and student party dances are now the presence of SaddleBrooke Ranch dancers on YouTube—just search Arizona Waltz Line Dance on YouTube to see the first of her instructional videos. These videos help students learn faster in class.
Gain fun, exercise, balance, strength, friends, brain/memory power, muscle tone, bone strength, self-confidence and consistent fun with Rebecca. Willingness to laugh at yourself and with others is your greatest asset. It’s required that you be nice to yourself allowing time to catch basics in dance.
Level 1: Beginners class is for those new to line dancing. Classes occur Monday in SaddleBrooke or Wednesdays at SaddleBrooke Ranch.
Level 2: Easy Intermediate classes provide a bit faster learning and dancing workout. Those who have previous training and/or experience may jump directly this level quickly. For this level you’ll need step training and more stamina. Classes at SaddleBrooke are Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday at SaddleBrooke Ranch.
Level 3: Intermediate is the most challenging class with complex dances and a vigorous workout. Classes are Thursday afternoon.
Fun/vigorous practice sessions are year-round Thursday/Level 1 and Saturday levels 2 and 3.
It’s time to claim a spot on the summer dance floor. If you are gone for the season, make fall or winter plans to dance. This spring 10 classes are planned for each level. Provisions can be made for those who will miss a lesson or two due to your travels. (We travel too! Yeah.)
Classes are taught on a reservation basis to control size and secure a favorable learning environment. Secure your place in one or more classes by contacting Rebecca Magdanz at [email protected] or phoning 818-2656. Rebecca has produced happy SaddleBrooke dancers since 2008 and is a full time resident.
