Dr. Mark Magdanz
Want to line dance this fall? It’s hard to believe, but we’re already headed to another change in seasons. Fall classes are nearly full. If you are brand new you will start on the waiting list or come to SaddleBrooke Ranch until space allows in SaddleBrooke. Rebecca reserves class series far into the future, so with Fall Series and more dancing in 2017, you are best served by getting your space now for your fun in the future. Keep in mind that class attendance requires a reservation; please no drop-ins as class sizes are limited by floor space. Snowbirds do best with the extra support of actual lessons.
Whether you are a novice or experienced dancer, lessons are geared to giving you the opportunity to dance, improve brain function and exercise with new friends. All class levels include some fundamentals, fitness, balance exercise and fun. Come experience line dance with different music many styles and rhythms. Brand new to line dance? Start in the easiest level and not be overwhelmed. Many completing a couple of series can move to Level 2 and the most fit/adventurous love the challenge in Level 3. Think you are beyond beginner status? Please speak with Rebecca for appraisal of abilities/experience. Note: There’s no advanced dancing in SaddleBrooke, our age/physical status lead to intermediate difficulty is our uppermost aspiration.
Level 1 Beginner Class is for those new to line dancing and for those who desire a slower pace. Classes occur Monday at HOA 1. This fall you can even dance Wednesday at SaddleBrooke Ranch if that class is not full.
Level 2 Beginner/Intermediate Classes deliver a bit faster learning and dancing workout. Given some previous training and/or experience you may jump directly this level. This level has step training and also works your stamina. Classes are Monday afternoon at the HOA 2 aerobics room, and/or Tuesday morning at HOA 1. You may dance at any session as a resident regardless of your home HOA. You can also dance Level 2 Wednesday afternoons at SaddleBrooke Ranch.
Level 3 Intermediate Class is the most challenging class with complex dances and a vigorous workout. Class is Thursday in the early afternoon. Note: No one has been comfortable starting in Level 3 with Rebecca’s classes.
Afternoon practice sessions occur year round for all levels in order to perfect skills, increase stamina and mainly for the fast workout/abundant fun/laughter. Practices and classes generally total 5,000 to 6,000 steps per session.
Please be aware that fall Monday and Tuesday classes have frequent banquet conflicts. This means we may be moving around to different dance floors as necessary.
