Class covers eight basic steps.  It is perfect for beginners and seasoned dancers needing to clean up their basic footwork and lead and follow.

Members of the Fairfield Dance Connection will be onstage in the Stephen Sondheim Center at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center on Friday, May 6th! This is part of the fabulous ‘Art in Motion’ dance show featuring everything from Hip-hop to Bollywood to Argentine Tango (and Swing, of course!).

You’ll have a chance to see us performing a West Coast Swing routine that we have been practicing for the past 3-4 months.

Hope to see you there.
