March Swing and Tango ! Jump in !

All dancing, to me, is a pure joy, a pathway to releasing the best in ourselves and each other.

Spring is on it's way, and it's time for Mark and I to get outside, play, and get our new garden growing.  Bet you've got the same idea!  So we're taking a break from ongoing lessons for now.  We're available for private lessons, special events, and Playshops such as "Wedding Dance 101".  You can reach us at 206 913-3962.  

        Happy dancing!  Margot and Mark

And you say, if only I knew how to dance all kinds of cool Swing moves,

I'd be ready to combine it with my free Rock ' n Roll dancing at this event!

Never fear, for early that day we offer you...

Swing 1.5 dance Playshop! 

 Known as "East Coast", or 6 count Swing, we'll give you some new moves and sassy combinations,

Note:  if you're brand new to Swing, let us give you a starter lesson before the Playshop; contact me and we'll make it happen.

Last but not least, visit La Puerta in Grand Junction on Friday 15th, to check out the dance scene there.  These folks have a weekly social dance in a big old dance hall, - join us there and meet them!  Interested?  Let us know.
