Waltz recap then learn to Rumba this week
Did you get a chance to check out the eclipse this week? We took a brief break from our Foxtrot course to head outside and see the show (you can see how we did further down on our Instagram link)
We’ve been working hard on keeping the studio as cool as possible during these weeks of heatwaves, and the general feedback has been that it’s been successful. So if you’re finding it’s too hot to cope at home, come down and enjoy some dancing!
In classes this week we’ll be recapping the Waltz, and looking at Rumba.
