Dancing in the Tenderloin (No sapatillas required)...

Thinkin' out loud...

Ok, just the basics. Lord knows how many folks will actually show up. It's only an hour and a half class. Warm up, that's 10 minutes. Then we'll go into some general introductions to the material. Then start with the basic arm and feet positions... what were they again? Oh ya...

Then, laterals. That's always tricky. Looks easy, but not everyone gets it right away. There's always someone who does the windshield wiper effect. To the balse... without laterals, with, back and forth. Then to cross waltz, across the room. Etc, etc, etc. There will be some phrases. Should be interesting.

Tunes, what will it be? What do I have? The rondalla based stuff. Where did I put them again?

Just the basics tonite folks, fundamentals. Nothing fancy, but it will be fun. If I can find the music. Where did I put them...

10 classes, starting tonight. 7-830pm, Mondays, now til August, at Bayanihan Center, Mission and 6th.
