Life may not be all you expected,
but while you're here . . . DANCE! Dancing Around the World Video
Great New Feature! | All of the videos posted on this website have been upgraded to include cue points. Below each video you will see an elapsed time for each element of the video: Demo, Walkthrough, Count, and Tags/Restarts. By clicking on the elapsed time for the section you want to view, the video will skip directly to that section. I personally think this is the best thing since sliced bread or more specifically since all the videos were filmed with Stephie (the instructor) facing away from us so we can actually dance along with the video. A huge thanks to John and Stephie for all their hard work to make these videos. Please check them out! Try this one to test out the cue points: Video with Cue Points |

If you leave the dance floor for any reason, you must put your mask back on. Restrooms inside will be available. It is suggested that you bring your own chair to sit in during breaks. All chairs, except for those of family members who live together, should be placed a minimum of six feet apart, and all dancers should maintain a minimum of six feet between themselves and anyone else at ALL times, including break times.
