What makes a dance lesson the perfect Valentine’s Day date?

It’s not news that dancing and romance are forever entwined in our hearts and minds. From Cinderella's ball to John Trivolta’s nightclub, dancing has always been the way to sweep your sweetheart off their feet. But why? What makes a dance lesson the perfect Valentine’s Day activity?

1 - We don’t care if you have two left feet and neither does your sweetie.
You don’t have to be a good dancer - just the fact that you planned the dance lesson will score you major points. Especially if dancing does not come naturally to you, the thing your date will remember is that you did it! Plus, you will be amazed how much easier it is to learn with expert instruction (exactly what you'll receive at a Sapphire lesson). Yes, there’s only so much you’ll learn in one lesson, but you will walk out of your dance class able to dance to an entire group of songs.

2 - This treat sends the right message.
A dance lesson together says, “I want to spend time with you. I want to share this experience with you and learn a thing that we can keep doing for years to come. Let’s have fun together.” Now that’s a nice message.

3 - It’s so much fun!
You will, and this is a promise, end up laughing, smiling, intrigued, and challenged at your dance class. You will move, learn, and really participate. There’s no zoning out here - it’s too much fun.

4 - There are lots of options.
We are going all out for Valentine’s Day Weekend. We have lesson options from Feb 11 - Feb 15, most for less than $10/person. That’s less than the cost of a nice dinner or a fancy bottle of wine.

5 - The memories are priceless.
At all of these lessons, you’ll learn skillls and create memories that will last a lifetime. Your instructor will be happy to video or to take pictures of you dancing on your camera during or at the end of your lesson.

(Lessons during COVID are masked and distanced. Advance reservations required.)

Dancing Solo this February? So are we!

Yes, you can learn and flourish in ballroom dancing without a partner. I’ve done it for years. But, when you’re a solo dancer, there’s something special about learning and doing a dance that is intended to be for an individual. Especially this month. Want to try it? You absolutely should!

I started Line Dancing in the 90’s (yes I’m old), when it was called Country Line Dancing, mostly because you found people doing it in country bars everywhere. Even then, it was not limited to country music: my favorite dance for years was to Gloria Estivan.

But now the music has spread even further. At a typical Line Dance workshop, you’ll hear Ed Sheerin, BTS, Michael Jackson, as well as Carrie Underwood and Kane Brown. I’m hoping Lisa will add some Beatles or Monkeys soon! Do you have a favorite we can include?

If you’re a beginner, we dance on Tuesdays twice a month at 7pm. If you’re an established dancer, once a month on Mondays, you can find our more challenging workshop. We’d love to have you join our group of solo dancers!

Next Beginner Line Dance Workshops - Tuesdays, Feb 15 and Mar 8
Next Challenging Line Dance Workshop - Monday, Feb 28

Masks required in-studio. All Line Dance Workshops are also available on-line with Zoom.
