BB4B Social Dance Party!

Friday 24 January 5:30 – 7:30pm
Fitchburg Senior Center

Everyone is welcome!  Our BB4B social dance party is a fun way to meet people, have fun, and practice dances you may have learned in class. Basic dance steps will be taught at the party to give you a taste of what a BB4B class is like if you have not tried one, yet!

We’ll have classic social dances like waltz, tango, and foxtrot. Latin dances like salsa and merengue! Maybe a line dance or two! Dance solo or with a partner.  We’ll have lots of chairs – dance in your chair if you prefer!

Our Vision:

We teach joyful classes where we build trust in ourselves and each other, meet new friends, and expand our world. Our classes and trainings are transformed by the ideas and perspectives of all participants, instructors, and community partners. People of diverse backgrounds come together to celebrate and re-discover the wisdom of movement through dance and weave it into daily life.

Alice says “It’s community, it’s health, it’s music–so it’s culture; it’s a great way to exercise and dance, and I know my balance has improved because of it!”
