SJDC and Lavender Ballroom Presents – Ballroom Basics: Foxtrot and Salsa

✨ BALLROOM BASICS: FOXTROT & SALSA ✨
A SIX-WEEK BEGINNER SERIES

Have you always wanted to try ballroom dancing but weren’t sure where to begin? THIS is your sign! 💃🕺

This welcoming six-week series starts with the absolute basics and gradually builds toward dancing a complete song in both Foxtrot and Salsa. No previous dance experience required. No partner required. No rhythm required…yet! 😉 We’ll build everything together!

✨ THROUGHOUT THE SERIES, YOU’LL EXPLORE:

• Foundational Foxtrot and Salsa steps
• Rhythm, timing, and musicality
• Partner connection and communication
• Leading, following, and moving confidently together
• How to combine your steps and dance through a full song

Partners will rotate throughout class so everyone has opportunities to learn, connect, and dance. Lead and follow roles are completely non-gendered. Choose whichever role feels best for you, or explore both! 🌈

Class size is limited so every dancer receives personal attention and no one gets lost in the crowd. Students will also receive weekly handouts and follow-up emails with helpful YouTube links so they can review and practice between classes.

💜 MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

This series will be taught by Elizabeth of Lavender Ballroom Dance! Elizabeth founded Lavender Ballroom Dance to create an inclusive, welcoming place where dancers of all genders, backgrounds, identities, and experience levels can discover the joy of ballroom dance.

👟 WHAT TO WEAR

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. No special dance shoes are required, but you must CARRY IN a pair of clean, dry indoor shoes that have not been worn outside on the street.

The class after Ballroom spends quite a bit of time dancing on the floor, and we would prefer not to introduce their faces to the germs of downtown Brunswick 😂 Please help us keep the ballroom clean, safe, and floorwork-friendly!

Come exactly as you are. You do not need experience, a partner, rhythm, or confidence to begin. Just bring yourself, your clean shoes, and a willingness to try something new! ✨

⏰ ARRIVAL & START TIME

Class begins SHARP at 6:00 PM! We recommend arriving around 5:45 PM so you have plenty of time to park, change into your indoor shoes, check in, and settle into the space.

Please help us begin and end on time so we can respect both our instructor’s time and the class scheduled immediately afterward. 💜
