BALORICO's Spring into Summer dance series runs May 2- June 27th  Sign up now !  206 679-7229 The 6pm Silver Ballroom Dance class will get folks moving across the floor, taking advantage of the large open floor-Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango + Swing and American style Rumba. At 7pm we'll have fun with our open level Salsa on2 class that will include some basic Cha Cha Cha fundamentals to gear you up for non-stop dancing at this summer's upcoming fun socials in the city. Lastly, I'm excited about our 8pm Afro Peruvian Ladies' Dance class because we will have 8 classes to dedicate to activating the power of the pelvis, build cardio endurance and help you coordinate arm/leg movement with a percussive and lyrical sensibility. Festejo is about powerful femininity expresses through a dancer's relationship to the drum, or the cajon in Peru's case.(Prounounced "Ka-hone") Email balorico@gmail.com to register/inquire.  In the Community:...

Balorico is warming up the dance floor with me at 7pm before the monthly Pica Pica social. Great DJ's spinning our favorite Mambo, Cha Cha, Pachanga, Son, Rumba and other vynl beats. Performers: interested in exploring a new style? We seek ladies to learn some fun  AfroPeruvian dances for summer and fall performances. Show up for the next AfroPeruvian Dance workshop 5/2 8pm-9:15pm to learn more. We'll focus on this particular style in May and June-  Festejo de Valentina style .  Happy it feels like summer in Seattle!!!

New class Bachata & Cha Cha will run Mondays at 6pm and Youth Ballroom & Latin is now open for registration, email balorico@gmail.com. (Reminder no classes on 8/4)

You know it when you see it, those dancers living in the moment, doing what they do best-connecting. I recently "caught" some former students GOING FOR IT: a father of four added the bachata to his soccer coaching practice at the park; while at the WS street fair an elder (dating) couple established the ballroom dance floor without any care of who was watching as a local musician played a pseudo swing-bluegrass tune; later at Salsa on Alki, some brave salseros led their follows successfully "on2"among the sea of "on 1" dancers...DANCE-We all do it, in private or public, wherever you do it, do it with pride, loud and proud ;) I'm feeling blessed to share this special way of connecting. UP NEXT the AUGUST Series: 6pm Bachata & Cha Cha Cha, 7pm ongoing Salsa on2, 8pm AfroPeruvian dance Register at balorico@gmail.com or sign up for a private dance lesson.
