Fast and fabulous fun
Salsa Friday Beginner Workshop
Friday, January 9, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Always wanted to learn to dance but didn't know where to start?
Try Salsa! This sizzling Latin dance is a fantastic way to get moving with style and confidence on the dance floor. It works beautifully to a large variety of music (not just Latin Salsa!) and is a great solo dance too.
Missed last week? No problem! Each week we teach a 40-50 minute lesson, starting with the absolute basics in a fun, popular dance style. And then, finish off the hour with a little taste of another style that will be on the schedule the later in the season.
It makes an awesome #DateNight, #ParentsNightOut, or an evening of #FunWithFriends.
Location: Sapphire Studio (downtown Christiansburg) and online
Price: $9/person in-studio (online options available, contact us for details).
Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.
Registration by noon the day of the event required. We will accommodate late registrations when we can.
Prerequisite: None - this is just for beginners! Salsa is fast and can be challenging but the reward is worth the effort.

Winter Blues Evening Social
Free for first-timers! (because we like you) East Coast Swing and so much more
Evening Social
Saturday, January 10, 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Feeling twitchy stuck in your house? Tired of grey-skies and cold rain? Come into the warm with an evening of fun, laughter, and dancing.
We’ll be starting the evening with a short East Coast Swing lesson. This dance is great for beginners and still exciting for advanced dancers.
Will there be a mixer mid-dance? Maybe - we're working on it.
So plan now to join fellow dancers, young, old, experienced, and shiny new for an afternoon of good food, nice people, great music, and incredible dancing.
Like to cook? bring a snack to share (sweet or savory) and get the chance to win a free private lesson or $50 gift card (minimum 3 entries for snack contest).
No experience or partner necessary – just bring your enthusiasm and your dancing shoes!
Location: Sapphire Studio
Price: Free for anyone who hasn't been to a Sapphire Dance Party ~ $10/general admission ~ Early registration is super helpful.
Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.
Registration by noon the day of the event required. We will accommodate late registrations when we can.
Prerequisite: While everyone is welcome, Socials are intended for those who have already taken a few lessons - Friday Beginner Workshops, Line Dance Classes, or private lessons. If you know at least a step or two in any dance style, you'll be able to pick up more at the party.
No one dances to all the music at a dance party, so don't worry if you don't know much. Watching can be fun and so can meeting other Sapphire students! The pre-dance lesson is beginner friendly and will include something shiny and cool.

A Dive Deep into what makes these unique dances similar
Learn cross-over moves that work in both Salsa and Cha Cha, and maybe other dances too! Salsa, Cha Cha, and Deep Dive Workshop
Monday, January 12, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
I've heard that Cha Cha was invented by Salsa dancers how thought the music was too slow. Sounds crazy to me. But there is no doubt the two dances are closely related. They each have their own character and yet several moves work in both. In this workshop, we'll be examining the similarities that tie these classic dances together. This workshop is not a “high dive,” not intended to be super challenging, but will give you some mind blowing ideas to play with.
Location: Sapphire Studio
Price: $21/person in-studio for one hour and a half workshop
$48/person in-studio for both January workshops.
Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.
Registration by noon the day of the event required. We will accommodate late registrations when we can.
Prerequisite: Participants should know basic Salsa or Cha Cha, but don't need to know both; or have attended the previous workshop.

Historic Dance (in casual clothes)
Historic Dance (English Country Dance) Workshop
Tuesday, January 13, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join the English Country Dancers of the New River Valley Historic Dance Society as we laugh, dance, and enjoy each other's company while learning dance new to us, but old as the 13 Colonies. This is the dancing you find in Pride and Prejudice, that George Washington did on vacation, and that evolved into modern Contra and Square dancing.
Beginners, groups, singles, and families are always welcome. Every dance will be taught by being broken down into simple components and cued while dancing. If you can walk, you can dance, and we'd love to have you join the set.
Location: Sapphire Studio
Price: This workshop is free, but a donation jar will be out during the dancing, if you feel like adding a couple of dollars. .
Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.
Registration by noon the day of the event required. We will accommodate late registrations when we can.
Prerequisite: None! Beginner and advanced dancers will find lots to love at this workshop.
