Discofox Workshop: Friday April 26 6:30-7:30 pm FREE
Looking to try a fun new dance? We are offering Discofox for the first time ever! Similar to hustle, Discofox is a partner dance that can also be compared to bachata and is danced to majority of pop music! Discofox is a relatively new style that is sometimes referred to as the ‘one, two, step’ dance. This is an intro class so no experience necessary!
