Upcoming Dance Opportunities
October 3rd & 31st : Country & Swing Social Dance
To bring the dance community together and to help our students improve their partner dance skills, we’re hosting Country & Swing social dances at the HUB Gymnasium (2375 Koksilah Rd, Duncan). Scheduled for the first and last Saturday of every month, these dances are a chance to take what you’ve learned in class and try it “in the wild”—with real music, different dance partners, a lively social atmosphere, and plenty of opportunities to build confidence through practice.
🕖 7:00–9:30 PM $15 per person cash at the door (or email us for alternative arrangements: jjsocialdancing@gmail.com)
✨ Includes a dance lesson!
Before the dance, we will be teaching a new line dance, and teaching a beginner / intermediate workshop. We will introduce new dances and beyond-beginner / intermediate moves, giving our more experienced students something fresh to learn while continuing to support newer dancers. Our goal is to create a welcoming dance community where you can learn, practice, connect, and keep growing—both in class and on the social dance floor!
Line Dancing
Every 4th song we play at the socials will be a line dance, to give our line dancers plenty of opportunity to practice what they know.
