SaddleBrooke Ballroom Dance Club Novice Classes This program is designed for novice dancers who have little or no knowledge of dancing. Ann and Dale Pizzitola, our instructors, are professional dance instructors who know how to get you on the dance floor quickly and easily, plus, you’ll have fun doing it! These classes are FREE to all residents of SaddleBrooke. Novice classes are held in the Vermillion Room in HOA-1, at 4 p.m.

Upcoming ClassesMonday, August 21: This session focuses on TANGO and RUMBA. For Tango, think Arnold Schwartzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis in “True Lies”. It’s a very fun dance indeed! Rumba is a Latin dance with a subtle side step, and lovely hip movements.

Monday, September 4: The focus will be on on WALTZ and HUSTLE in this session. The Standard Waltz is a three-count smooth dance and wonderful to have in your repertoire. John Travolta made Hustle very popular in “Saturday Night Fever”.

Monday, September 18: FOXTROT and MERENGUE are featured in this class. Foxtrot moves around the floor, and uses slow and quick steps. Merengue is a Latin dance in which you simply step on every beat. It’s easy to learn and move to the dance floor.

Monday, October 2: This session features TANGO and CHA CHA. Tango will take you back to those “True Lies” moves. And you probably have heard the call for cha cha:, One-Two-Cha-Cha-Cha.
