Bolero is a slow Latin dance with roots in Spain and Cuba. It is a unique dance with Latin as well as ballroom dancing characteristics. The sliding steps, soft hip motion, and close dance hold make this a romantic and powerful dance style. Bolero, the August lesson provided by SaddleBrooke Ballroom Dance Club (SBDC), is being taught by Bob Osborne and Laurie Messick.
Beginning Bolero classes will be held in the month of August in the MountainView Ballroom in SaddleBrooke TWO on Sundays at 3 p.m. and Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. Registration is required. Please email [email protected] or sign up on the website www.sbballroomdance.com. Dance Classes are free to members, and a nonmember may attend one class for free to make sure it’s a fit before joining.
