Community Line Dancing: November Pop-Up!
2024-11-22 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Waitsfield United Church of Christ Village Meeting House, 4335 Main St, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
Alright MRV, I think we all need to DANCE!
(It’s good for your mental health**). And I’m going to try to do my bit to make that happen.
I’m hoping to host at least 1 such pop-up every month this winter with locations TBD on a monthly basis. Excited to announce our next pop-up will be at the Waitsfield Village Meeting House! (1st floor of Waitsfield UCC, 4355 Main St)
Pre-registration online preferred (through my website), or pay at the door:
Pay what you can at multiple price points (from $11), trying to make this financially accessible to everyone!
Here’s what to expect & bring:
Attire:
+ comfy shoes for dancing (boots are fun but not required)
+ layers—not sure what the temp will be like that day, but it’s always good to have the ability to thermoregulate in the moment!
Lessons:
+~ 1 hr reviewing/teaching different line dances at multiple entry levels—see tutorial videos on my website to review “Muddy Muddy” and “Wagon Wheel” from October’s pop-up
+ After lessons I’ll play music and folks will get a chance to practice the dances we learned at different tempos .
+ Feel free to bring snacks and NON ALCOHOLIC beverages (house rules for the Meeting House). I’ll provide some light snacks and water.
Hope to see you there!
