That will make up for the two lessons we missed in May and June. This is the most popular of all dances, especially when you consider the Foxtrot and Texas Two-Step are virtually the same. At most dances, about 60% to 70% of the individual dances are Foxtrots/Texas Two-Steps. So if you can develop a number of different steps (the basics), you will impress a lot of other dancers. We’ll teach you the basic steps and 4 or 5 optional steps to enhance your ballroom dancing. Dancing is fun, good exercise and a great way to make new friends. And the best thing is that the lessons are free! -Tom & Betty Arbaugh, Unit #1814. Thursday, July 5th | 7PM -Mimosa/Azalea- Come out and enjoy a fun night of BINGO!
