Get your dance shoes ready, there’s soooo much happening this weekend!
–> LINDY HOP: Friday May 9th is a CHANCE TO DANCE!
The Landing (MUN UC) from 7:30-9:30pm.
$2 suggested donation
Chance to Dance is a practice session, held every few weeks, where Hoppers can practice the moves that we’ve already learned. In other words: dancey playtime! We won’t be teaching you anything new, but we can answer any questions you have about what you’ve covered with us before, and we can certainly help you develop some flair or string familiar movements together in new and interesting ways.
Bring your smile and your dancin’ shoes!
