We start every class with a basic figure, so you can drop in any week, but if if you stay with the class for a whole month, you’ll learn the month’s dance in greater depth than you would with our Beginner-1/Beginner-2 dance series (which teaches you a wider variety of dances). Here is our planned schedule for the upcoming year:

April 2010 Jitterbug
May Merengue
June Nightclub
July Rumba
August Salsa
September American Tango
October Waltz
November West Coast Swing
December Bolero
January 2011 Cha Cha
February East Coast Swing
March Foxtrot
April Hustle

All are welcome to attend and these outings are free.

On August 10th, there will be a jive lesson from 4 to 5 pm followed by ballroom dancing from 5 to 7 pm.

On August 24th, there will be an Argentine tango lesson from 4 to 5 pm followed by tango music and dancing from 5 to 7 pm.

Both of these events will have live bands providing music to dance to. They will be held in the Spirit of Music Garden in Grant Park, which is on the east side of Michigan Avenue in Chicago between Harrison Street and Balbo Drive. We will tape signs to a couple chairs and maybe fly a red flag to give people a meeting point. You can RSVP on the meetup web page.

In addition, Two Left Feet will have its regular 2nd & 4th Fridays of the month parties, on August 8th and August 22nd at 8:30 pm. These parties are free for Two Left Feet students and their first-time guests, and just $5 for others.
