Sat 5 Oct to Sun 6 Oct, 10 am-2 pm. Richard Powers is a dance historian and instructor at Stanford University specializing in both historic and contemporary social dance. He leads workshops around the world (see below for more about that). His Social Dance class is among Stanford University's most popular courses.
The primary focus of the weekend will be waltzing, including cross-step waltz and traditional turning waltz with a few other dances of Richard's choice. This special weekend is only for those with at least some waltz experience (traditional, cross-step, box, Viennese, etc.) This is not a workshop for waltz beginners. If you already know some basic waltz steps, then this waltz weekend is for you.
Early Bird Registration opens May 1st, 8 am, $60 for the weekend
Regular registration opens July 1st, 8 am, $70 for the weekend
This venue will have a capacity of approximately 70, so be sure to register early to save your place.
