Focus On Fundamentals

Just beginning to learn how to dance? Welcome to USA Dance. The 7:00-8:00 hour at our monthly dance is "Focus On Fundamentals." Dancing will be limited to the basics and experienced dancers will be encouraged to dance with new dancers. This is a great opportunity for those of you who attend our Berclair classes to practice what you just learned.

Everybody you see whizzing around the floor was a beginner once, and we haven't forgotten.
 
Free Stuff!
Free
Lesson
The first Beginner Berclair class of each new session is free to USA Dance Members. Bring your membership card for free admission.

Every USA Dance Member should take advantage of our Beginner Berclair classes. You can never practice the basics too much, and you might even learn something new. At $6 an hour for a professsional instructor (and free once a month), it's a bargain.
Free
Dance
A USA Dance Member who brings a newcomer (someone who has never attended one of our dances) gets in for half price, and the newcomer gets in free.

Simply print the coupon, and redeem it at the dance.
 
USA Dance At Blue Suede Ballroom

The Friends of USA Dance (the name says it) meet at the Blue Suede Ballroom several times each month. On the first and fifth (when there is one) Saturday, and the third Friday, this informal group dances to great music on a good floor in an attractive room.

Blue Suede Ballroom is located at 3650 Southwind Park Cove, Suite 110 (close to the intersection of Forest Hill Irene and Winchester). The music plays from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M., and admission is $5 per person.
Blue Suede Ballroom Kids Class

Starting in January, Blue Suede Ballroom will start a kids class (ages 8 and up) on Monday evenings. There may be separate classes for younger kids and teens, if enough people sign up.

The 45-minute weekly classes will start at 5:30 or 6:00 P. M. Classes will start with Rumba, Cha-Cha, and Swing, and move on to Watlz, Tango, and Foxtrot. The cost will be $45 per month. Contact Blue Suede Ballroom at (901) 758-0032 for more information.
