Introductory Classes for September
Introductory classes are specifically designed for those who have never danced ballroom or those looking for a refresher on the basics of ballroom dance. In September, the SaddleBrooke Ballroom Dance Club (SBDC) Introductory classes will be the Hustle and American Tango. The Hustle is a fusion of salsa and mambo and is a lively and energetic dance that can be used for both Latin and Pop music. American Tango is a stylized, dramatic version of the Argentine Tango. It features steps borrowed from salsas and rumbas and is known for its passionate character and close connection between partners.
Both classes will be taught by our resident professional instructors, Ann and Dale Pizzitola. They teach dance steps with a method that is easy to learn, they are extremely patient and know how to encourage progress. Hustle class will be held on Wednesday, September 2 at 5:30 p.m. in the Mariposa Room at DesertView. The American Tango class will be held on Wednesday, September 9, also at 5:30 p.m. in the Mariposa Room. There will also be a Review Session on Wednesday, September 23.
