Meet Your Instructors: David and Marilyn

One of the most heartwarming aspects of the Beginner Country Two-Step and Swing Dance class is the passion and energy that David and Marilyn bring to the dance floor. With many years of teaching experience, they know how to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels comfortable learning.
Their skillful teaching methods are not only engaging but also tailored for beginners. For example, in their foundational lessons, they focus on mastering just a few key moves in the first week before gradually introducing more elements. This approach allows participants to build confidence as they progress through the dance styles. As they elegantly demonstrate both lead and follow positions, students get a clear view of how to work together harmoniously and enjoyably.
The class kicks off on Wednesday, April 16th, and will run for eight consecutive weeks, from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. Each session is designed to offer a rich learning experience and cover essential components of Country Two-Step and Swing Dance.
Whether you’re a complete novice or looking to refine your skills, this class meets your needs. Each dancer will learn both leading and following roles. So singles can learn and dance while couples can foster cooperation and connection with their partner, whether they’re a significant other or friend. Past participants have praised the class for helping them feel comfortable and confident within weeks.
Don’t worry if you’ve never danced before! David and Marilyn promote a playful atmosphere where laughter and fun take center stage. The only requirement? A willingness to learn and enjoy yourself!
