* About the waltz workshop, Alyssa says: “You’ll be dancing in no time after this introductory waltz workshop! We’ll look at what makes up good partner dance frame, go over basic steps and turns, and do fun connection games so we can work towards flowing, satisfying waltzing. Come if you’ve never waltzed before, or if you’re experienced and want to brush up. No partner necessary, just be sure to bring shoes you can spin well in.”
