On Thursday October 30, 2025 Ballroom Time will host a special evening Ballroom Dance Workshop!
To help dancers prepare for our recurring Sunday dances, we are offering a multi-level Ballroom Dance Workshop in the Spanish Ballroom on Thursday evening, October 30, 2025 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm followed by 1/2 hour of instructor-assisted practice until 9:30 pm. This multi-level Workshop is designed with beginner to intermediate-level dancers in mind. Beginners will receive separate instruction to cover lead and follow techniques along with basic steps and figures that can be used across multiple dance styles. The first hour will cover mambo, rumba, cha-cha, and bachata basics. The second hour will cover dances that move in a line of dance including waltz, foxtrot, tango, and samba. Figures used in samba line dancing will be taught during the practice session. More experienced dancers are encouraged to join the Workshop to learn intermediate-level figures chosen from the following: Hour 1 - open and closed cross-body lead in rumba and cha-cha; spiral turns; bolero styling; and additional figures for bachata and merengue. Hour 2 - additional figures for waltz and foxtrot including the natural spin turn and waltz figures done out of promenade position: the natural impetus turn, chassé steps, and the reverse weave. We'll practice the Viennese cross used in Viennese waltz. We'll review the open reverse turn and back corté in ballroom tango.
We will be rotating partners, which is always optional for those who dance with a preferred partner.
Following the Workshop, there will be a half hour of supervised practice to recorded music from 9:00 pm to 9:30 pm.
The Workshop is complimentary to our 4-week class series:

and
Ballroom Dancing for intermediate-level dancers.
Additional information may be found in the Park's couse catalog.
