Class
Quinceañera waltz
The quinceañera waltz is a group class for the court. We teach the waltz in pairs and the entrance together, with a teacher counting aloud. The quinceañera, her damas and the chambelanes learn side by side, so everyone knows where to stand and when to turn.
Ages 13 to 17
Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Saturday mornings
A group class, taught in Spanish and English
