Cha-Cha lessons in January

On Monday nights beginning January 10th you'll find me at Priya Pilates in West Sedona. This series of 4 Cha-Cha classes runs from 7-8pm! Cha-Cha is a Latin dance originating from Cuba with a quick tempo that works with a great variety of music. We will learn beginner level steps to traditional Cha-Cha music as well as non-traditional music that lends itself to a Cha-Cha rhythm. Because this is a beginner level series, NO experience is required. : )

This course is coordinated by Thomas Felix. So, please, contact him for additional info regarding payment and registration at tfelix88@yahoo.com


I look forward to sharing the joy of Cha-Cha with you.

The world's most popular dances!

Dances have different places of origin and have come and gone from popularity. But if dance is a universal language what everybody speaking? Here's an article I found posted back in 2000. I wonder if the top ten dances in the world are still the same.

I'm just happy to say I can dance them all! And more importantly I can teach you.

Happy reading... then go dancing!
