Exercises to Improve Balance

Technique What's Next Workshop
Monday, November 3, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm

This exercise class is specifically geared towards improving your balance while dancing. Of course, that also means improving your balance while standing and walking, which really can't be a bad thing. You will sweat; you may be sore; you will probably complain (we all do); but we keep coming back for more.

Location: Sapphire Studio (downtown Christiansburg) and online
Price: $14/person in-studio or $9/person online.
    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: No prerequisites in dance ability or fitness level - you just need to be willing to put the work into improving yourself as a dancer.

Gobble-Gobble Afternoon Social
Free for Beginners! (because we like you)

Fox Trot and so much more
Afternoon Social
Saturday, November 8, 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

The holiday season is closing in. Soon enough you're going to be focusing on trips, feasts, and presents. Before the crazy starts, come enjoy an casual afternoon of fun and dancing.
We’ll be starting the afternoon with a short Foxtrot lesson. This dance is great for beginners and still exciting for advanced dancers. Will there be a mixer mid-dance? Oh yeah. Fox Trot mixes really well - how could we not? No experience or partner necessary – just bring your enthusiasm and your dancing shoes!
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).

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 some 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.
