FIRST FRIDAY BLUES OCTOBER 7TH

Special Event
Friday, October 7, 2016 - 6:00pm to 9:00pm

DID YOU KNOW?
The blues are a historically African-American song form. They are a blend of ballads and field hollers. Hollers were the work songs of the slaves when they picked crops on the southern plantations. These rural roots make it difficult to document the exact origin of the blues, but it also makes sense that the music became so personal. Interviews with surviving musicians tell of them hearing blues sung throughout the South in the early 1900s.

IT'S COMING!! THE CHA CHA CHA... DANCE WITH US ON FIRST FRIDAY JULY 1, 6PM

Performance
Friday, July 1, 2016 - 12:30pm

   DID YOU KNOW.....

There are a few things that are very unique about Cha-Cha.  First of all… The hip movement and staccato footwork.  It is very, very “Latin”, sexy and sensual.  Its unique rhythm and sound is considered very flirty, infectious and upbeat…although it can also sound very nice slowed down.  It is a really fun dance and it can really distinguish you on the dance floor.
