Not to worry, the Boston Center for Adult Education (BCAE) just announced their new Monday night dance series featuring three, one-hour dance classes beginning Monday, June 6th, 2011. Whether you want to shimmy in the summer at Salsa for Couples, waltz away your worries at Ballroom Dance Basics, or shake it all out at Merengue & Cha Cha, the Monday night dance series is a perfect way to fill your Monday night dancing void. From now until June 6th, 2011 receive 25% off BCAE dance classes with the code “DANCE611!” Dancers can choose one class or stay for all three. Whether a beginner, a professional, or simply looking to break out of the old routine and spice things up, these classes will get you on the dance floor!

 

Salsa For Couples:  Salsa is the hot, hot, hottest of the Latin American dances! Characterized by explosive movements, its beat is lively and sensuous and makes you want to get up and move.

Merengue & Cha Cha: The Merengue emerged from the rural areas of the Dominican Republic and Haiti in the 18th century and is so named because of its fast hip motion that resembles an egg beater in action. In this rousing class, you will learn the basic dance steps of these two popular dances as well as ways to embellish them with turns, magic hands, and the incorporation of other Latin dances.
