Luau Party

July 18 th , 2008

Summer is always a great time to host a Luau Party. So close your eyes and let your imagination take over. Pretend you're at a tropical beach somewhere surrounded by crystal clear blue water, a light refreshing island breeze blowing as you sip on a cool tropical drink and sampling delicious Polynesian food. Now open your eyes and SNAP OUT OF IT! We might not be able to bring all of that inside the studio, but we can decorate it up and then let our imaginations do the rest. To help bring more festive foods to the feast, we ask that everyone bring a dish (and it doesn't have to be anything exactly Polynesian), but if your culinary skills allows for that – then please be our guest. Otherwise whatever you bring will be greatly appreciate and we'll sure – absolutely delicious. Along with the great music we'll have to dance to, we have prizes for the best dressed male and female as well as couple. Get in practice for our traditional Limbo and Hula contest and above all - don't miss it!

Beginner's Class

Monday Evenings

7-8 pm

This class is designed for the beginner just starting out and new to the world of dance. The hour is split in half with the first half designated to one dance, while the last half hour is dedicated towards the other. This way the instructor can rotate all the popular dances much faster, giving you a chance to sample them all and find out which ones you enjoy the most. Look to our monthly calendar for the dances that are listed. We usually recommend that a new student stay through at least two rotation cycles to establish a nice foundation in their dancing. The cost is $10 a person or $15 a couple.

Intermediate Class

Wednesday Evening

7-8 pm

After you learn the basics from the Beginner's Class, then you might find yourself ready take on more challenges in your dancing. If you do then the Intermediate Class is the next most logical step to take. This class is designed to branch out and add to your repertoire of dance patterns. Also it will help you to inter-relate dances together thus being able to understand them much better. Then add some good solid technique, a bit of general styling and a whole lot of fun and you have a “perfect” class. Everyone wants to look good on the dance floor - don't they? We're convinced that the tips and information you'll receive from this class will have others commenting on how much better a dancer you are becoming. It will enhance and polish your present level of dancing, thus helping to make you a more accomplished dancer and one that everyone enjoys dancing with.

Also in this class you'll find the Bolero, Viennese Waltz, Country Two Step, Argentine Tango, Night Club Two Step, Quickstep, and several others. You've seen these dances at the parties, and how much fun they appear to be. So don't feel or be left out and when they come around again. You will be able to now dance them too.

“Fun” Class

Friday Evening

7-8 pm  

This is probably one of most popular classes due to two facts. It's a great way for beginners to start out and a wonderful way to meet other fellow dancers right before we begin our Friday Night Dance Party. The class is split into 2 half hour classes just like Monday and Thursday and the level is beginner through intermediate. What a great and fun way to learn something new and meet new friends.

The class is included in the admission to the dance party.

Friday Night Dance Party

Ever wanted to go out dancing but didn't know where? There are lots of things to consider. Postage stamp size dance floor, smoky atmosphere, music too loud, trouble finding parking spaces, etc… And then the music selection!!! Can anybody actually dance that THAT?
