2015 IBDI 2nd Term Classes & Special Workshop

Hi, All,

Registration for IBDI's 2nd Term will start on Monday, March 16, from 6:30pm in the Ewa ballroom. We have two classes for new and beginning dancers - Beginning International Tango and American Waltz. If you know anyone who is going to a prom or will need to dance at a wedding, the American Waltz is the dance to learn. If you enjoyed Jim Prado's American Cha Cha class and want to continue to improve and learn new Cha Cha patterns, we are offering American Cha Cha Variations. For more experienced dancers, we are offering International Tango II, International Foxtrot I/II and Night Club Two Step II. International Tango II and Night Club Two Step II are continuations of the classes taught in the first term. For Night Club Two Step, a variety of new and interesting patterns will be taught. (Left click on poster to zoom in)

After registering for classes, stay for free dancing in the Ewa ballroom, or attend the special workshop in the Diamond Head ballroom.

The first term special workshop will be take place from 7:30 to 9pm., conducted by USA Dance instructors, Glenn Okazaki and Anne Ho (see attached poster for details). Several sets of line figure combinations for Waltz will be taught that can be used to enhance student dance routines and/or used to add variety to social dancing. Please join us.
