Edina Community Education

With so many unique dances on the social ballroom floor, your first question may be: where to start? Right here. Beginning with the very basics, you will learn the three sizzling and upbeat “rhythm” styles of social partner dance: cha-cha, rumba, and East coast swing. By our last class, you’ll have enough moves to step confidently onto the floor at any of the Twin Cities’ ballroom dance scenes! Partner dance is for everyone; come solo or with a partner, and discover art, self-expression, a great workout, and wonderful people, all in one place. Our seventh session will be an outing to a one-hour practice party from 8-9 p.m. at Cinema Ballroom in St. Paul (small cover charge not included in price of course). Learn how to dance with Anne, a social and competitive ballroom dancer with seven years of teaching experience, specializing in collegiate and adult beginners.
