The Washington DC Ballroom, Latin & Swing Dance Meetup Group 3.50 3.502
Founded
July 11, 2006

Our goal is to join with local dancers in Ballroom, Latin, Salsa & Rueda, Hustle, Swing, Argentine Tango & more of all levels to increase everyone's skills in this dynamic, incredibly popular sport. Most events are in social settings outside of the typical bar and night club scene & are open to everyone. Membership approval is not required. There are a lot of opportunities for training since in this country many don't know the social dances. So we're also making that available throughout the week.
I have always felt that those who care to try their hand at Ballroom, Latin and Swing dancing should have the opportunity to do so without paying a fortune for that privilege. The Washington DC Ballroom, Latin & Swing Dance Meetup Group will not require approval for membership as some others do, and is open to and welcomes anyone willing to make the effort; including all ages from school age to seniors, singles & couples, same-gender couples and the seeing & hearing impaired.
We will be hosting and attending specifically scheduled monthly Friday or Saturday "Dance-&-Learn Parties" (Visit www.PleaseDanceWithMe.com/danceandlearn.htm ) and weekly "Sunday Salsa, Argentine Tango & Rueda Socials" with classes starting from 1:30pm to 8pm and social dancing and practice after 7pm at the Chevy Chase Ballroom. If requested, we will even teach my all-time favorite, the "Michael Jackson's Thriller" dance routine after 9pm on Sundays (and I will teach you the original and authentic choreography down to the last detail...but only for those who DARE to try it!....).

PS: Please do not be affected by the low number of people who RSVP. Rarely people do, but they come anyway. So just come.

      “Leslie....Why are you concentrating on the negative? The event description indicates right up front that there's an Argentine Tango class beforehand. Plus if you've been dancing Ballroom & Latin Tango should be easy and it also indicates that my DJ will be playing several tandas of non-Tango music as indicated (Cha Cha, Rumba, Swing, Salsa). And ALL LEVELS OF DANCERS ARE WELCOME AND HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND. YOU NEEDN'T BE DANCING LIKE A PRO TO HAVE A GREAT TIME AT OUR MILONGAS is right there”
