Saturday night you have your choice of a Ballroom Dance at Imperial Dance Studio or Tango Pavadita at 308 West.

Sunday evening at 308 West we have Slow Lindy Swing, with dance exercises from 6:30 to 7, Lindy from 7 to 8 and Hustle! from 8 to 9. There are some July discounts. If you pay to attend any other program at 308 West during the prior week, you can attend our Sunday evening session for only $5. The more you dance, the more you save.

If you want to get a work out, join my Israeli Folk Dance session on Mondays at B'nai Israel from 7 to 8:30. It is free if you come to Lindy. Otherwise just $5.

Tuesday nights in July, Richard is holding Vintage Waltz classes at the Boltin Center.

West Coast Swing is now on Wednesday nights from 8 to 10 at 308 West, with Josh's WCS Dance Party on the third Wednesday and Essie's classes on the other Wednesday nights.

Thursday is Christian's Balboa class. This is now twice a month.

Next Friday July 15 Kay Picart teaches Ballroom Foxtrot at 308 West from 6 to 7.

Coming up Saturday July 23 is the 3rd Annual Larry G. Shahboz Memorial Swing Dance to raise funds and awareness for blood cancer charities such as The Leukemia and Lymphomia Society and the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.
