DANCE CLASSES – BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE:

Coordinator’s Note:  Michael & Jaya will be teaching the Beginner/Intermediate swing dance classes all week, both in the morning and afternoon, except for the Tuesday and Thursday afternoon classes, when the Advanced/Intermediate students will get a chance to work with Michael & Jaya, and the Beginner/Intermediate students will have classes with Joel & Alison.   The dance teachers and I thought it would be nice for ALL of the dance students to get a chance to work with ALL of the dance teachers, at least a little.  -WB
