Beginner Line Dancing
The House of Bamboo is waiting for you Line Dance Workshop
Tuesday, September 16, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
It's time for you to get groovy. You don't need boots. You don't need a partner. You don't need anything but yourself. Come out and have a great time dancing with us. Every workshop, we present for you an exciting combination of ultra beginner and slightly more challenging dances, selected to get your toes tapping in no time. Everything is broken down by our expert instructors, leveraging decades of experience to help you make sense of the moves and give you options to make them your own.
Easiest dances are taught at the beginning of the evening, more challenging dances towards the end, with a bit of social dancing and practice time in between. So, if you've never done this before, come early!
Location: Sapphire Studio
Price: $9/person in-studio.
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! We search the Line Dance world for dances that both beginner and experienced line dancers will love. If you want something more challenging, look for ALD typically on the first Monday of the month.

So much more fun than T-A-N-G-O
Tango Friday Beginner Workshop
Friday, September 19, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
American Tango is smooth and powerful - really a little exciting. If you've been looking for the dramatic side of partner dance, you found it.
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 later in the season.
It makes an awesome #DateNight, #ParentsNightOut, or an evening of #FunWithFriends.
Location: Sapphire Studio
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! Tango is a little challenging, but you can do it. You just need to get started.

Intermediate Line Dance
Ready to Level Up, but not too much. Line Dance Line Dance Workshop
Monday, October 6, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
So you've danced around the walls a time or two and you're ready for more? Awesome. We'd love to have you!

But the result will be worth it, without doubt.

Historic Dance (in casual clothes)
Historic Dance (English Country Dance) Workshop
Tuesday, October 14, 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.
