What is a Beginners Boot Camp Workshop?
It’s a great way to jump start your dancing. In one afternoon our carefully designed dance program can fast track your dancing. When you’re pressed for time and you want to learn to dance quickly, these afternoon Boot Camps are just the thing. In just one afternoon you can acquire the basic fundamentals of a dance. Our goal is to get you in dance shape and ready for the dance floor. Boot Camp Location: Raleigh Elks Lodge – 5538 Leadmine Rd. (1 mile north of Crab Tree Valley Mall).
Requirements: No partner or prior dance experience is necessary. Just be ready to have fun, learn and meet new friends. These workshops start you off with the basic rhythm, footwork and move you through partnering, turning technique and some flashy basic moves. We offer 3 afternoon progressive workshops that start at 3 pm and progress to a 4 pm and 5 pm workshop. Take one, two or all three (recommended) workshops in the series. NO PARTNER or PRIOR EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.
AFTERNOON WORKSHOP PRICING: Register at the door. Arrive 15 minutes prior to your first workshop.
Carolina Dance Club Members (CDC) $10 One Workshop , $18 Two Workshops, $22 Three Workshops,
Non-CDC Members $14 One Workshop, $22 Two Workshops, $30 Three Workshops. No partner necessary.
After the Boot Camp Workshops we have evening Swing dancing that starts at 6:15 pm with a Introductory 55 minute Beginner Swing Lesson! (additional cost for evening swing dance)
