Thu 30 Apr 2020, 7-8:30 pm. You can join me for Social Dance Exercise with Andy Live Online, as I continue to experiment.
I am planning dance classes for May. In the meantime, get some exercise, have some fun as we do basic steps for a number of dances.
Share your feedback. Let me know what kind of dance sessions you want, what times are good, what types of dances, whether you want instruction, exercises, dancing, musicality, etc.
Following is the invitation to the Tuesday session and the tentative schedule.
For the different dances we will do a combination of exercises, instruction and routines. This is an experimentation, so be forewarned things will be rough. If you do not like messiness, wait until we work out the bugs before you attend. If you do not mind some confusion, join us.
Note that there is a password. The sessions are free.
Tuesday April 21 at 7:00 pm EDT.
You can join online at 6::50 pm.
