What better gift to give your significant other this Valentine’s Day then the gift of time spent together? And there’s no more fun way to spend time then on the dance floor. If you’ve always wanted to learn to dance with or surprise your special someone, here’s your chance!
This winter, Kerie Hagler with Dance Kinexion is offering short-and-sweet evening and weekend “bootcamp” dance classes in Bozeman and surrounding areas. The unique Dance Bootcamp Social Dance Series enables anyone to learn country, swing or ballroom dance in only a few hours. Learn to twirl with a partner in popular styles such as upbeat Country Two-Step, Country Swing (Jitterbug) or East Coast Swing, or slower styles such as Waltz, Rumba and the ultra-romantic Bolero, great for weddings, bars or the many dances around the state. Classes are scheduled for either three-weeknight sessions or special one-day weekend workshops beginning in late January and continuing into February. Using accelerated learning methods, you’ll learn to move confidently with a partner and adapt your dancing to a variety of music styles and venues. Class fees are generally only $10 per hour, per person, with student and multi-class discounts available. Dance classes are healthful, mood-boosting antidotes for the winter blues for all ages, geared for all levels, and a partner is not required to sign-up! If your schedule is unpredictable, custom private classes are available for groups, wedding parties, families, couples or individuals starting at only $15 per person.
Find a time that works for you and like-minded friends and get out on the dance floor! Drop-in “ date-night” 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 (TheMacMontana.com) at 8pm. For more info on course schedules and locations, visit DanceKinexion.com or contact Kerie at 406-578-0298. The MAC is located at the corner of W. Kagy and S. 22nd Ave. and is also available to the community for venue and studio rentals for parties, receptions, meetings, workshops and other events. •
