SPICE UP YOUR DANCECARD WITH
SALSA – April 6, 13, 20 & 27
BOLLYWOOD – May 4, 11, 18 & 25
Segerstrom Center for the Arts is kicking up the heat on the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza dancefloor with its popular Tuesday Night Dance series featuring Salsa on April 6, 13, 20 and 27, and Bollywood on May 4, 11, 18 and 25. They’re ideal during this time of quarantine and stay-at-home because, once you’ve mastered the steps during the classes at the Center, they can be handless, distanced and energize any room with the music and moves so unique to both dance styles. Classes are 6:30- 7:30pm, with check-in at 6pm. Spaces are just $10 each, and 28 spaces are available. Immediate sign-ups are encouraged because Tuesday Night Dance sells out quickly.
