Cajun and Zydeco Dance Lessons

with Jody Benjamin & Michael Ball

Starting Sunday May 31 – 7:00 PM ($10 cover)

What A Great Idea! Cajun and Zydeco Dance Lessons. Jody Benjamin and Michael Ball will guide you through the Basics and Beyond in Three Classic Dances that are staples in clubs throughout SW Louisiana and now very popular in the New England States. It is a 4 Week Session starting May 31 and ending June 21st (May 31, June 7, June 14 & June 21). Classes are $10 each, pay as you go. There will be instruction from 7:00 – 8:00 PM and supervised Free Dance from 8:00 – 9:00 PM. Singles are welcome. Our goal is to teach men and women how to lead and follow and leave you with a dancing vocabulary that will stand you in good stead with a cool head in many dancing situations. The focus will be Cajun and Zydeco but keep in mind these dances work with other styles of music as well. Dancing is a social activity by definition. This is not dancing for performance or competition. This is an inclusive activity that will help you be at ease in social settings where dancing would be a fun option. The Elmdale is an ideal setting for this activity with its old school charm and, not least, because the dancer will inevitably benefit from his/her proximity to the delicious tasting, high quality beverages available there.
