Wednesday.

Summer Lessons Update:

As mentioned in last week’s email, during the Summer, we will have room
space reserved in the CUC from 5pm - 9pm Mondays and Wednesdays. However,
all lessons are run independently through our coaches, Christine and Dmitry.

This Monday, Christine will be leading all-level standard workshops from 6:30
to 8pm on campus. At this workshop, dancers will study initiator and
responder jobs, learn simple exercises to practice on your own, and drills
to put it all together with a partner. $15 for students and $20 for adults,
paid to Christine, will cover the lesson (as well as last week’s if you
attended).

Dmitry lessons will begin June 5th. Latin lessons at 7pm, rhythm lessons at
7:45. Please see the attached flyer!

later, then it is half off). This one-time payment covers all lessons
through the end of Spring. We accept cash or check, paid at the front
