Ballroom, Swing, Salsa and Tango all have rich histories of social dancing in which socializing was the primary focus of the dance. The art of social dancing is one of the cornerstones of Atomic Ballroom where any dance may be led and followed in a relaxed, easy atmosphere. This coming weekend we will focus on the art of social swing dancing. Atomic Ballroom instructor and DJ, Peter Flahiff, will be helping attendees learn new footwork, moves, and styling while giving them the ability to enhance what they already know so that both partners can have an enjoyably night of social dancing.
Any dance can be done for a performance, competition, or social purposes. Take a moment to appreciate the casual act of being social on the dance floor! And don’t forget to stop at Atomic in Irvine to learn something new and have all of your questions answered by the amazing Peter Flahiff.
