Step into the world of partnership dance! In this upbeat and welcoming class, students will learn the fundamentals of five iconic ballroom and Latin styles: Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha Cha, Salsa and Swing. Each week introduces a new rhythm and movement pattern, with a focus on proper frame, dance hold and partnering skills.

Beyond the steps, students will explore the etiquette of social dance — from respectful communication with a partner to how to enter and exit the dance floor with confidence and poise. We’ll also highlight the powerful life skills ballroom dance builds naturally: teamwork, spatial awareness, leadership and followership, musicality, self-expression and the confidence that comes from mastering something new.

Our final class transforms into a fun, mini social dance party, giving students a chance to put their skills into action while celebrating all they’ve accomplished together.

Who loves horses?! This informative session will have hands on classes with two beginner-safe horses. Basic horse safety, grooming, saddling, first aid, leading, riding, breeds, feeding, anatomy, and lunging are a bulk of the topics we may go over. Riding, leading, and lunging the horse will be weather and ground-condition dependent each week. This class is held in southeast Swanton, outside or in a barn with *no heat* so please dress accordingly. Note: there is no bathroom at the barn. Smooth sole boot with 1/2" heel required for riding weeks; I will provide helmets.
