Dance it off with bootcamp series!

Have you always wanted to learn to dance but haven’t been able to fit it in your schedule? No more excuses!

This spring, Kerie Hagler with Dance Kinexion is offering short-and-sweet evening dance classes in Bozeman at the Montana Movement Arts Center. The unique Dance Bootcamp social dance series enables anyone to learn essential country, swing, or ballroom dance in just two to four evening sessions. Learn to twirl with a partner in popular styles such as upbeat Country Two-Step, Swing (Jitterbug) or East Coast Swing, or classic smooth styles such as Foxtrot or Waltz. The bootcamps are an easy way to prepare for dancing at weddings, bars, or the many dances around the area. Classes are scheduled for either two consecutive or four once-a-week sessions. Using accelerating learning methods, you’ll find out how quickly you can move confidently with a partner and adapt your dancing to a variety of music styles and venues.

Class fees are $40 per course, with student discounts available. Dance classes are a unique way to work out your body, mind, and spirit for a mood-enhancing, health-boosting outing or “date night” for all ages. Classes are geared for beginning and continuing levels and a partner is not required to sign-up! If your schedule is unpredictable, custom private classes are available for couples, groups, wedding parties, families or individuals starting at only $20 per person. Find a time that works for you and like-minded friends and get out on the dance floor!

Drop-in classes are also an option in latin dancing with Sizzling Salsa Wednesday evenings at 8pm and Argentine Tango with Bozeman Tango Tuesdays, both at the Montana Movement Arts Center (The MAC) at 8pm.
