Dance with us! Sign up for our latest series:

American Smooth Foxtrot with Emily and Citabria

November 4, 11, 18 & December 2
7:15 to 8:45 (90 minutes)

Hello beautiful ballroom dancers!
In November we are beginning a special series where we get to learn the classy, swanky, and a little bit cheeky American Smooth Foxtrot! We will learn a full routine and perform it for our friends at the December 9 holiday party. (Performing is optional.)

We expect students to enroll in the series and attend classes. Missed classes happen, but we don’t plan on allowing drop-ins for this class in order to move along with the plan to learn the routine in a month.

Register online through the link in our description ✨ classes start next week!

Oct 7, 14 & 21
Intermediate Progressive Country-Western Two-Step @ 6:45pm with Citabria

Are you a big fan of country-western two-step?

In October, we get to try out intermediate moves in “progressive” country-western two-step. It goes quick-quick-slow-slow and is just as much fun to dance as Bay Area two-step. So dust off yer boots and join us for this three-week series!

Pre register online! Find the link in our description.

See you in class 🤠

✨🥁Are you ready
to rock out
with us? 🎸 ✨

We are about to begin learning an original choreographed group dance in the style of East Coast Swing & Lindy Hop to an exciting LIVE version of a classic hit: Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen!

All dancers are welcome. Most of it will be doable for anyone who’s tried some East Coast Swing and other partner dance. There will be a “Spotlight” section for those who want to dance even more.

The goal is to bring this energetic crowd-pleaser to Fog Town Hoedown in San Francisco on Friday, October 30 (or maybe Saturday October 31, TBD). There will be other performance dates—Starlight Strut Oct 24, early Nov at Sundance Saloon, and Dec 9 at our own party. You do not have to perform at all of these.

Classes are on Wednesdays. Please register for the Series in October. Late additions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Wednesdays:

September 30 from 6:45 to 8:30 - Extended class, deep dive into learning the choreo (Drop-in OK) $22 pre-reg. / $28 at the door

October 7, 14, 21 & 28 (long) - This is the 4-week series. Pre-registration required. (Try to attend all classes, but it’s possible to catch up or get more practice. We will have extra practice times available.)

October 7 from 7:45 to 8:45
October 14 from 7:45 to 8:45
October 21 from 7:45 to 8:45
October 28 (long) from 6:45 to 8:30
