Price: $14/person in-studio or $9/person online.
Pay online and register at the same time at Sapphire's Square Store.

Your heart will dance
Fox Trot Friday Beginner Workshop
Friday, November 7, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Classic and smooth, the Fox Trot will get your swagger on in no time. This debonair dance will teach you grace and balance with rhythm and confidence. With a slow pace and simple rhythm, Fox Trot is a wonderful dance to start your ballroom journey with.

It makes an awesome #DateNight, #ParentsNightOut, or an evening of #FunWithFriends.
