Introductory dance classes for swing and salsa return this fall through Illinois Valley Community College’s Continuing Education Department.
These classes are a great starting point, whether to prepare for a special event, explore a new hobby, or simply savor the joy of dancing.
Learn basic patterns, turns and even some fancy footwork to the tune of rock, oldies, country or Big Band music in Beginning Swing. Classes meet over six sessions on Tuesdays from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., from Oct. 21 through Dec. 16.
Discover salsa basics, from the fundamental steps and partner work to timing, turns and spins, during the six-session Salsa for Beginners. Classes will meet on Tuesdays from 8:15 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., also from Oct. 21 through Dec. 16.
While no previous dance experience is necessary, a partner is required and both dancers must be registered for the class.
The courses are taught by Jane and Rodney Schomas. Each series costs $75 and will be held in the Small Gym at Oglesby’s Lincoln School. Classes will not be held on Nov. 11 or Nov. 25 because of holidays.
