Have you always wanted to try Ballroom dancing or are you an
experienced dancer? The Ballroom Dance Club has something for
everyone!
Our next dance will be our holiday dance on Fri., Dec. 19 in
Abravanel Hall. (We will not be having a dance in November.) Doors
will open at 6 pm for the holiday dance. We will be serving hearty
hors d'oeuvres at 6:15 pm. Dancing to the music provided by the
Music Station duo will be from 7 to 9:15 pm.
Throughout November, the Club will be hosting an open practice
dance party in Abravanel Hall each Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30
pm. These parties are open to all residents of OHCC and guests
of members. The events are free to Club members. Resident non-
members may attend one dance party free. Thereafter, the cost for
attending a dance party for non-members will be $5. A variety of
recorded music will be played that will include music for many of
the ballroom dances: Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Swing, Cha-Cha, Samba,
Hustle, Rumba, NightClub 2 Step, and more. The night kicks off with
a 15-minute beginner friendly lesson taught by our experienced
dancers. Learn some basic social dance steps, then hit the floor.
The events are Bring Your Own Everything, except pitchers of water,
glasses, and napkins will be provided.
Open Dance Practice sessions are held in Abravanel Hall from 2 to
4 pm each week on Mondays. Our experienced dancers will review
previous dance lessons and provide help upon request. After the
review, you can practice your dancing to a variety of ballroom music.
These sessions are FREE and are open to all residents of OHCC and
guests of members.
