Desperately Seeking Fred Astaire: Dance Group Needs Male Partners

Ladies of the Beginning Ballroom Dance Class at Vinnie's Jump and Jive have a big problem: not enough guys to learn the fox trot, mambo or rumba with them.

The Beginning Ballroom Dance Class at has a shortage of male dance partners and is seeking men of all ages to come join in the fun. No previous dance experience is necessary.  

The class meets Thursdays from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. and costs $12 per class. Those pre-pay for the entire month are charged $11 per class.

The beginning class offers the basics of ballroom dance: leading and following, using the music, ballroom etiquette, learning the footwork and bodywork. Styles include the waltz, foxtrot, rumba, cha-cha and samba.
