The dances in this series are open to all but will be geared toward experienced dancers. “Experienced” means: 

You know how to do a roll away, California twirl, pass through to a wave, contra corners, and basic moves without teaching
You know where to be at the start of each dance phrase and how to recover from a lapse
You assist your partner and neighbor to the next move
You execute flourishes safely and on time without disturbing others
You respond to confusion and missteps by others with grace, encouragement and good humor

Admission: $12-20
