Ho ho ho it’s that time of year for abundant holiday cheer! For those in and around the Orange County area, ATOMIC’s highly anticipated open house is back. Held just twice a year, it is the time when ATOMIC’s already welcoming doors open even wider. While anyone is welcome throughout the year, this is a special time to introduce new faces to the scene and the local dance community. All are welcome to drop in for free sample dance classes, treats and giveaways.

 

Although the open house is held bi-annually, this special holiday themed shindig has more of a festive feel than the summer event. From the festive, holiday decor, to the seasonal scents and tastes, and the warm atmosphere, it’s a great place to escape the winter chill and feel the warmth of the holidays.
There’s no better time to bring that friend, co-worker or even the non-dancer in your life to the ballroom, where they can try as many sample classes from as many dance styles as they can handle that day. It’s a bit like an all you can eat buffet, only for dance! Typically the styles featured are waltz, Argentine tango, west coast swing, lindy-hop, hip-hop, and chacha. This year, things have been spiced up with some new additions to the roster, which now include zouk and kizomba dance styles. If you haven’t tried either of these dances, or maybe have never even heard of them, that’s all the more reason to come give them a try, or at least check them out.
As if that weren’t enough, another new addition this season is a fun, holiday photo booth and photo contest. This along with beloved holiday treats and a very special cabaret student showcase set to perform, will provide plenty of entertainment and enjoyment for all in attendance.
As usual, the day promises to offer great deals and other special offers (such as discounted class passes and special giveaways and prizes). With all of these perks, there are plenty of reasons to drop by and few reasons to stay away and miss out.
Whether you’re a frequent dancer or total novice, this is the place to be, and the perfect time to get started!
