In 1913, Harry Fox introduced the dance that was destined to become the most popular dance of the Twentieth Century. The fox trot, after many musical and stylistic changes, was wholeheartedly adopted by even the Hollywood stars. This is your chance to learn the fine details before the Blue Moon dance and concert on April 2nd. Instructor Laura Taylor will make this an exciting and pleasant social evening—and she’s bringing in some very special surprise guests to make that happen. Everyone from the community with an interest in dance is welcome to attend. If you’re an expert, we’ll really be happy to see you.
