Swing and tango classes commence

DANCE LESSONS

Last week in East Coast Swing, club members worked on pivots, and in tango, on the “La Puerta,” a fun step wherein the partners first create a zigzag movement, after which the follower performs a step and pivot. This movement will get lots of attention on the dance floor.

Each class begins with a review of the previous week’s material before moving on to new concepts. East Coast Swing is at 2 p.m., followed by tango at 3 p.m. Classes are every Monday in the dance studio, upstairs in Clubhouse 6. The class is for everyone, from never-dancedbefore beginners to advanced.

No partner is necessary; class will rotate so everyone dances. The cost is $7 per person for one class, $11 per person for two classes in a single day. For more information, contact Jackie at 310-743-9373.
