Pre-dance lesson, 7:00 – 8:00PM

Join Margo Richardson and Mark Wilson, who will teach us about “Comfortable Cuddles for Country Swing.”

Using the basic rock step rhythm of Country Swing, we’ll fine tune fun variations of the Cuddle. This close position can be wonderful when it’s relaxed and timed for easy momentum moving in and out of it.
