Well, here we are at the last month of this very strange 2020. As usual, I'm wrapping up my classes for the year. As not-usual, they are online classes. Hoping for better in 2021...
Please note: the events listed below are hosted in different cities/countries in different time zones. Please adjust for your own time zone before planning online attendance!

Two Saturdays, December 5th & 12th ~ ONLINE / California-based
Low-Impact Historical Footwork 103b: Fitting Steps to Dances (CONTINUED) (Facebook event)
for the Historical Tea and Dance Society (group Facebook page)
2:00pm-3:30pm. The last two classes in a four-part Zoom series covering basic steps for Regency and Colonial era dance. One-hour lesson plus after-class discussion. Prerequisite - 101 class or permission. Continuing the HT&DS series of historical steps for country dances and related forms, this second "fitting steps" series will again focus on using steps we've learned with the specific figures of dances from different historical periods. Some previous experience required - either our 101 class or basic knowledge of steps such as doubles and singles, the chassé-jeté-assemblé Regency sequence, and the rigadaun. Other steps will be reviewed or taught briefly as needed. This is a friendly, gently-paced class going beyond the absolute basics to how to apply steps in the ballroom. CONTINUING SERIES STUDENTS ONLY.
