BEGINNING SWING AND WALTZ      7 pm

All Levels        CLASSIC TANGOS      8 pm              

Intermediate/Advanced  CROSS-STEP WALTZ VARIATIONS      9 pm    


  • This past year has been an especially creative one on the dance floor, with new Cross-Step Waltz variations coming in from many dancers and teachers.  Twenty of them are especially good, which brings our list up to 124 variations.  How many do you know?

  • Waltz Etcetera in Seattle just sent out their fall class schedule, featuring Cross-Step Waltz.  They wrote, "Cross-step waltz is a delightful, swooping, playful dance; it's our favorite kind of waltz and the core of a lot of what we teach.  The structure of cross-step waltz lends itself to many elegant variations, much more so than other kinds of waltz."  The director Zachariah Cassady added further, "this wonderful dance, my personal favorite, is the best partner dance in the world."

  • These are the intermediate/advanced variations which are never taught in the daytime social dance classes.  New moves are taught each session, including many never taught before in this series, so you can continue taking this level indefinitely.

  • Practical skills include leading and following secrets, plus improving your pivots.

  • Learn it from the source while you can.  Richard and Angela are recognized as the world's experts on Cross-Step Waltz.

  • Prerequisite:  Knowing basic Cross-Step Waltz, or being a fairly quick study in learning new dance forms.
