FREE dance lessons?  Yes, FREE!  Here's the scoop ….

Twice-monthly Ballroom, Latin and Swing Dance Parties are held on Tuesday afternoons at Dennis Center for Active Living (DCAL).  They're always lots of fun but typically there are many more followers than leaders.  To help even-out the numbers, starting on

Tuesday, July 1st and running weekly at Dennis Center for Active Living from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm instructor Karen Shackleford will donate her time to teach a FREE beginner ballroom dance course for anyone who aspires to learn how to be a ballroom dance leader with the ultimate goal of dance hosting.  This course is for true beginner dancers only and is expected to run until December.
 
What's the catch?  Well, it's not a catch really but an added benefit.  Graduates of the course will receive free admission to future DCAL Tuesday afternoon ballroom dance parties starting in January 2026 in exchange for serving as dance hosts  Yes, these classes will definitely be fun but please keep in mind the commitment aspect.  By enrolling you would be agreeing not only to attend class regularly but also to serve as a dance host afterward.  Please consider this exceptional opportunity to brighten your days with dance!

Interested?  Please pre-register by emailing Karen at CapeSandsBallroom@gmail.com no later than June 14th.  Pre-registration is required to obtain an accurate count of participants in order to find an equal number of experienced followers to even off this class.  Experienced followers who would like to donate their time to attend on a regular basis, please email as above, and thank you in advance.
