Want to survive the fast-tempo Viennese dances at Waltz Time’s “Evening with Strauss Ball", but don’t want to have to delve deeply into formal Ballroom-Viennese technique? Join us at our Fast-Waltz Survival Workshop on Monday, April 28th, 7:00-8:30 pm. This workshop is targeted at social waltzers and beginner dancers planning to attend the “Evening With Strauss Ball" the following weekend (Saturday, May 3rd). Experienced waltz teachers Tony Treston and Katherine Anderson will introduce you to a hybrid waltz style designed to get you elegantly through quick-paced waltzes and bidirectional turns. Prepare for the Ball with this specially priced and practical workshop ($10 / $5 full-time students). No advanced registration. Arrive 10-15 minutes early to register for the 7:00pm workshop.
