Throughout the month we offer various open dances for students and the public to come and experience the joy of dancing in a safe, non-intimidating, all ages, non-club environment!  Each social/practice is started with a one hour lesson for beginners (and an intermediate lesson in the case of the Salsa social) followed by open dancing, refreshments and snacks, socializing, instructor support, and general dancing fun!  We encourage people to bring family members of all levels and other dance-curious friends.  The cost for all of this?  $5.  Best deal in town!  Please join us!

Salsa Social

SATURDAY, July 31st, 2:15-3p beginning & intermediate lesson, 3-5:30p open dancing

Once a month Viscount hosts an open Salsa social dance for Salsaeros and those who are curious about this popular Latin dance. The social begins with a short warm up lesson (2:15-3pm) in Studio A for first time Salsa students that covers the basics and a move or two use immediately!  In Studio B, Sarah Riddle teaches a specialty class for those with a little more experience ranging from Salsa shines, dips for the dancefloor, Cha Cha, or turn technique! Then music, socializing, refreshments and snacks are the name of the game until 5:30pm for just $5. These practices are ALL AGES, so bring your young dancing friends! Instructors will be on hand to answer questions and to simply have fun and hang out with! This is a great way to improve your dance skills and form connections with other dance students without the pressure of public dance clubs.  Note: There will be no social in August.  Summer socials are July 31st, and Sept. 4th.

Too scared to try out your moves at a night club?  Is the livingroom getting too small for your sick routines?  Are you too young to go dancing in clubs?  If you answered yes to any of these questions then the Friday night Hip hop social is for YOU!  Our in house Hop Hop diva, Selena Bekakis will be spinning her favorite turns and providing tips, pointers, encouragement, and a warm up for all those ready and willing to go a little gangsta every 2nd Friday of the month.  Snacks and drink provided with the light $5 cover.  Dress in sweats, or bust out your bling - just come out and dance in this completely non threating, social, relaxed environment!  All ages welcome, in solos and packs!
