Two new dance classes start at the Queen Anne’s County Arts Council’s Centre for the Arts Wednesday evenings from May 14 through June 4. Rumba is inspired by African rhythms and Latin melodies, and is a pre-requisite for good Latin dancing, while it helps sharpen your sense of rhythm, timing and muscle control. This month’s class is aimed at students already familiar with the basic steps. Rumba class begins at 7 p.m.
At 8 p.m., you will be moving slow, slow, quick, quick to the Foxtrot. Perfecting this smooth and elegant dance is the key to gliding around like Fred and Ginger at your next social event. Ballroom dance classes are held year-round for dancers of all levels. Class fees are $50 for members of the Queen Anne’s County Arts Council, or $55 for non members. The deadline for registration is May 13.
Instructor Amanda Showell has taught at some of the largest dance schools on the east coast, having coached the dance teams of both Princeton University and the University of Delaware. A teacher since 1996, she has won numerous ballroom dance competition titles and trained with World Class dancers such as Peter Eggleton and Charlotte Jorgensen.
Centre for the arts classes are designed to renew existing artistic interests, and to develop new skills. Registration materials are available at 206 South Commerce St. in Centreville, Tuesday-Friday from 9 am to 4 pm, or by calling 410-758-2520, online, or by request via email at [email protected]. The Centre receives support through a grant from the Maryland State Arts Council. Queen Anne’s County Arts Council, Inc., is a non-profit organization committed to promoting, expanding and sustaining the arts by connecting artists to audiences and the community to the arts.
