We are excited to be hosting our Annual Holiday Party at Lake Merritt Dance again this year!

We are offering four different classes before the performances and social dancing. At 5:00pm Ryan will offer a Rhythm & Listening class. Then at 6:15pm Or will be offering a Rueda Dinámica class, a fun active style of rueda with lots of fast calls— dancers must be currently attending Level 3 or 4 to participate. Then at 7:30pm we will offer a beginning Salsa class as well as Cha-Cha-Cha class with Sidney for int/adv dancers (two separate levels taught in different rooms simultaneously).

Here’s the full schedule for the night:

5:00pm Rhythm Workshop with Ryan (open to all levels of dancers and music lovers)
6:15pm Rueda Dinámica Workshop with Or (currently attending L3 and up)
7:30pm Beginning Salsa Class
