If you are looking to move beyond the basic waltz, tango, & foxtrot (or cha-cha, rumba, and swing), check out this workshop coming up:
This is a workshop for those wanting to learn the basics of West Coast Swing and Hustle. Step patterns will be given.
Instructor: Philip Jones. Philip started dancing in high school as a favor to his sister. She needed a dance partner. He says he didn’t want to but when he danced the waltz he was hooked. Since then he has studied under professionals such as Ashly DelGrosso (Dancing With the Stars) and Min Suyoung and currently studies with Olga Kormanovskaya in Atlanta. He has competed in American Smooth, Rhythm, Standard, and currently competes in International Open Latin.

I have met and danced with Philip and can vouch that he is a very nice person as well as an excellent dancer. This is a great opportunity to learn some less common but really fun dances!
