Afro-Brazilian Dance
with Dandha Da Hora
Mondays 6pm–7:30pm Drop-in $15 Beginners and all levels welcome! Dandha’s Afro-Brazilian Dance is an invitation to explore the rich world of Afro-Brazilian Dance traditions with a gifted and dedicated teacher. Her classes focus on folkloric and Orixa-inspired dance, Samba-Afro, samba reggae, and other Brazilian dance styles and feature live drumming. Everyone will find challenge and inspiration in her dancing and teaching. All levels and all backgrounds are welcome. We are centering around equity and discovering what this looks and feels like. We are humbly striving to create an antiracist space to move freely and to embody diversity, equity, and inclusion as an intentional community of movers and shakers. We don't know exactly what this will look like however we are open to ideas and would love feedback. If you have suggestions, please submit them in writing to one of the facilitators or the suggestion box.

Santa Cruz Swing
If you are new to swing dance (or returning after a hiatus) and want to have fun and meet people, this class is for you! We start with the basic 6-count footwork and the class quickly picks up from there. You will learn to connect with your partner to achieve the tension and compression that makes swing dancing feel so good! You will learn a variety of moves, including various tuck turns, pass by's, send outs, and more! Our goal by the end of class is that you are familiar with the fundamentals of Lindy Hop and can incorporate both 6-count and 8-count moves into a single dance, with and without triple setps! This class will feel challenging at certain points, but is sure to get you dancing! Register for this series here: https://www.santacruzswing.com/register
