Partners Western Dance will start our next series of classes on March 2. We will be teaching the Arizona 2-step. The 2-step progresses around the dance floor. You can dance the Arizona 2-step at all the venues around Tucson. It is a very easy dance to learn, and we make classes easy and fun! Dancing is fun! So the classes should be fun. We teach a step, then review it the next week. We don’t want to just demonstrate steps and move on. We want you to learn the steps!
I have been teaching here in SaddleBrooke for 20 years, and I have sidekicks who help me teach. We all want to help you learn to dance!
The Beginners 2-step class will meet at 6 p.m. in the Rincon Room. At 7 p.m. we will have an Intermediate class. Classes will be a six-week series, but you can get on the dance floor after the first class. The more you learn, the more confident you feel!
On Thursdays, starting March 5, we will offer our Partner Pattern Dance classes. These are similar to line dances—a series of steps that repeat. But you do these dances in the sweetheart position with your partner beside you. We start with the 10-step. Then we have a 16-step. Not bad. You only need your fingers to count to 10. The Introductory classes will meet at 6 p.m. in the Rincon Room. At 7 p.m. we offer Intermediate Partner Pattern Dance classes. These dances are more involved, but we review every week. You can join the Partner Pattern classes at any time.
We, the SaddleBrooke Partners Western Dance Club, as a club, offer dances with Wild Ride. We have a dance scheduled on Monday, Feb. 16. Tickets to these dances are $10 for club members and $15 for non-members. The dances are held in the MountainView ballroom. Come for a concert (listening is fun) or come for the dancing. Wild Ride is enjoyable either way! I think they are the best band in Tucson.
We frequently have a free DJ dance in the Vermilion Room in the SaddleBrooke clubhouse. These dances start at 6 p.m. Membership is not required to attend.
Dancing is great exercise and helps build synapses in your brain, and you get to hold your partner in your arms! Grab your partner and some neighbors and discover the fun you can have right here on the SaddleBrooke dance floor!
Yee Haw!
