2:30pm - 4:30pm: Lesson 4:30pm-5:30pm: Supervised Practice

For intermediate-level ballroom dancers, we are offering our popular A+ Workshop on Sunday afternoon June 29, 2025 from 2:30 to 4:30 pm, followed by a full hour of supervised practice from 4:30 until 5:30. This special Workshop will take place in the air-conditioned Ballroom Backroom.

The Workshop is designed with advanced beginner to intermediate-level ballroom dancers in mind, and will offer figures that can be used across multiple dance styles. The first hour will cover open and closed cross-body lead in rumba and cha-cha; spiral turns; bolero styling; and additional figures for bachata and merengue.  The second hour will cover additional figures for waltz and foxtrot including chassé steps, the natural spin turn and the impetus turn.  We'll practice the Viennese cross used in Viennese waltz. We'll review the open reverse turn and back corte in ballroom tango.  

If you've completed an ABC's course or have 6 months of more of ballroom dance experience you are encouraged to join the Workshop.  We will be rotating partners, which is always optional for those who dance with a preferred partner.

The Workshop will be taught by Ballroom Time staff Tom Hall and Min Zhang who have a combined total of over 50 years of ballroom dance experience.

No partner is required, singles are encouraged to attend. Children under 18 should be accompanied by a parent.
