The idea of a “social dance party” sounds intimidating until you’ve been to one. Then it’s just a good night.<\/p>\n
Here’s what actually happens. You walk in \u2014 usually after a group class, so your feet are already warm. An instructor greets you. Music plays. People dance. You get asked to dance, or you ask someone. You rotate. Nobody is judging your level, because everyone in the room remembers being new.<\/p>\n
The secret of social dancing: it’s not a performance. There’s no audience. It’s practice disguised as a party \u2014 the place where everything from your lessons starts working without you thinking about it.<\/p>\n
What if you’re a total beginner? You’re the most welcome person there. Experienced dancers love dancing with beginners \u2014 it reminds them why they started. And our instructors are on the floor too, so you’re never stranded.<\/p>\n
At our Union Square studio, Thursday nights are built for this: a Social Group Dance Lesson at 7 PM, then a Practice Session from 8 to 8:45. All levels. Every week.<\/p>\n
Start with a $50 introductory lesson and we’ll get you ready for your first Thursday. 857 Broadway, or 212-597-2484.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
