What is Tap Dance? Well, it's not just "tapping your feet" but coordinating your mind and body in order to bring
out certain sounds with your feet. Tap instructor Jeann Svarvar will teach beginners the basic tap steps and more.
Shuffle step is a fundamental tap step that involves alternating between two sounds.
The ball change is another basic tap step that involves quickly shifting your weight from one foot to the other and
it helps with balance — we definitely need that!
We cover timesteps, flaps, and cramp rolls (try to not get a cramp), etc.
Beginners' class is Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 am in the North Clubhouse. Shoes are provided. Fee is $40 per
month. Questions? Call Jeann at (951) 990- 2779 or email svarvar@svarvar.net.

Hello dancers! Our line dance lessons have been well attended. During each lesson we review the dances
we learned in previous sessions, and learn one or two new dances. Our teacher has many years of experience
teaching seniors and is happy to modify steps for members with physical issues. Line dance provides a
good workout for body and mind. Experienced line dancers and quick learners are welcome to join the club
anytime during the year. Beginners should wait until classes restart in fall. Dues are $20 per year and there
is a fee of $3 per class.
