Join Us For an Evening of Ballroom and Social Dance
Triangle StarDusters Ballroom Dance Club offers a welcoming space for dance lovers and newcomers to gather monthly to connect with beautiful music and like-minded ballroom dance enthusiasts. Each event features a one-hour lesson by a professional instructor followed by more than two hours of ballroom dancing.
We start the New Year with a dance on Saturday, January 10th. We’ll feature Swing (aKA East Coast Swing).
Swing, the Heartbeat of Rock & Roll
Swing, in all its forms, is one of the most popular social dances in the world, right up there with Salsa, Bachata and Argentine Tango. Of course, as a ballroom dance club, we like the fact that it is one of the dances in the American Rhythm set of ballroom dances. But what’s most important is that, if you are looking for a great introduction to the sheer joy of social dancing, Swing is the fastest and most accessible step. Why? Well, consider this:
· It's easy for beginners to learn, offering "instant gratification" on the dance floor.
· It’s the best dance for some of the most popular songs of all time: Rock & Roll.
· It’s lively, playful and uses a bouncy style that perfectly matches the driving rhythms and strong backbeats of Rock & Roll.
· There’s a flexible connection between lead and follow so that dancers can have individual expression. That makes Swing especially fun in a relaxed social setting.
At January’s dance you can look forward to sharing the enjoyment of some great pop music with friendly dancers from all over the Triangle. And you can begin or continue your Swing dance journey under the careful direction of an enthusiastic, motivating and experienced teacher, Lindsey Kling.
Lindsey has many years of experience developing newcomers into confident social or competitive ballroom dancers.
Ms. Kling's love for dance began when she was only seven and continued through bachelor’s degrees in both Dance and Performing Arts from Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, NC. After college, she lived in New York City where she was first introduced to Ballroom and Social Dance.
Back in N.C., her professional career includes teaching dance; owning and operating the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Cary where she focused on training students for both competitive and social dance; and now having her own independent dance club.
Since 2016 Ms. Kling has run the “The Chatham Social Club,” located in Pittsboro. There she hosts social dances and offers private and group instruction for beginners up to advanced dancers.
You can learn all about her club at this link and you can email her directly at this address.
Join us on January 10th for this lesson to get a solid understanding of the basics of Swing and then stay for more than 2 hours of music for all the ballroom dances plus the major social dances.
