June 23 at Friday Night Waltz 7:00pm - Ragtime Era One Step: Although this is an easy dance for beginners, we hope to have you zooming around the room doing some fancier variations within the hour. These One Step variations are also useful in other dances like the Tango and Foxtrot. 8pm - Two Step into Maxixe into Samba: Follow the historical progression of the late 19th Century Two Step through the Ragtime Era Maxixe, and into the Jazz Age Samba. The versatile Two Step has been re-used - with Brazilian style added - to create new dances over time. The Two-Step is Beginning level, the Maxixe and Samba will be Intermediate level.
