Instructor Liz Nania, Director of OUT to Dance. Back by popular request! You know and love East Coast Swing (also known as swing, lindy, jitterbug, etc...) and you'd like to spice up your repertoire, you can customize your dancing and do it your way. If you've taken at least two or more full terms of East Coast Swing or the equivalent, you're ready to take your swing dancing to a whole new level. Mastery is a beautiful thing! Learn some new lindy hop steps, learn how to "hit the breaks" in the music, add some cool new footwork, lots of fancy swing turns, and get plenty of review on steps you want to revive. Also, you can customize your swing dancing by creating your own personal dance goal and getting coaching from Liz on making your dance dream come true by the end of this class.
This class is guaranteed to be a massive amount of fun. No partner? No problem. This intermediate swing class will not be repeated soon, so seize the opportunity now. It's a known fact that humans are unable to feel bummed out while swing dancing. (Add a second or third class to your dance night out and save another $15 on additional classes!)
This is our last LGBT Sunday class term til September; but you can join our queer-friendly Monday beginners' classes in June.
Instructor Liz Nania, Director of OUT to Dance. It gets even better! Join us for an exhilarating West Coast Swing Intermediate class. West Coast Swing is danced to more contemporary pop music than any other dance, so get ready to dazzle 'em on the dance floor. If you're very comfortable with the basics, you'll learn traveling steps, whip variations, awesome combinations, and you'll shine up your technique.
West Coast Swing is much more fun than ever when you know a few flashy tricks and gain solid confidence. End your weekend on a high note! (Want to join this class but need to know more basics? Do one or more private lessons first; call Liz to arrange it.) No partner necessary. Add a second or third class to your dance night out and save $15 per additional class!

"I recall my well-meaning sisters scoffing when I said I was too embarrassed to take conventional dance classes. They didn't understand how it feels to be the only gay/ transgendered person in a room, especially in the traditionally gendered atmosphere of dance class. You were Fred or Ginger according to your birth certificate--period. OUT To Dance classes changed all of that for many people for the first time."
Kathleen A. Carbone from Somerville, MA
“John and I have become totally addicted
to these classes. It's a really fun date night out for us, and
as a bonus, we've made some new friends. Who knew?"
John and Justin from the North Shore, MA
"I drive from Worcester to West Roxbury for these awesome classes, and my friend drives from New Hampshire. That says a lot about what a great time we have!"
Sherry P. from Worcester, MA
“We felt totally comfortable dancing as partners
in a dance class full of other same-sex dancers; what a relief.
Plus, we made several new friends. What a blast!”
Denise and Pat from Cambridge, MA
We were afraid the song we
picked would be hard for us with four left feet. But, all it took
was one lesson from you and our wedding dance was awesome. You
helped calm our nerves by teaching us the basics like
leading and following (who knew that two leads is one too many!).
On the Big Day we remembered your instructions and we looked elegant.
We even slipped in the twirls you taught us and people cheered!
Thank you, Liz!

Dave and I have been participating in dance classes for the past almost 3 years. It is a real blast and a great way to spend a couple of hours on Sunday night. We have made really amazing friendships there and the teacher, Liz Nania, is incredible. It's a completely non-threatening environment and many of the people we have met there will be dear friends for a long time to come. BTW, much of the music we learn to dance to are pieces heard in clubs today! Yep, the sound may be different, but the beat is there. It won't be long 'til we're featured on Dancing With The Stars! Right!!

Imagine the best vacation of your life: Latin dancing, art and cultural excursions in Mexico! Immerse yourself in the joys of Latin dancing at one of the most beautiful and arts-oriented locales in Latin America, Casa de los Artistas. Expect a sunny mid-70s to low 80s climate while dancing in the Casa open air studio overlooking the ocean, river and village.
Salsa dancing will be our main focus, and you'll also enjoy some merengue, cha cha and rhumba to expand your Latin dance experience. You'll see how the steps in each of the dances overlap, so you'll learn even faster than you imagined, and definitely at your own pace in our small-group setting; it's like taking private lessons, but with fun new friends!
Whether you have only dreamed of Latin dancing or you have a little experience, you'll learn lots of exhilarating dance moves in this immersion week. You'll also enjoy some fantastic evenings of dancing at our party at the Casa for friends and locals, and our night out at the salsa club in town which features a live band. No partner or dance experience is needed. (You are encouraged, but not required, to change partners during dance classes.) If you already know a little Latin dance, you'll get a good review and definitely learn some fun new moves. Both heterosexual folks and LGBT folks are all encouraged to join the fun. (Puerto Vallarta is home to one of the largest GLBT communities in Mexico, so people of all sexual orientations will feel comfortable in the salsa club and in town.)
After a delicious breakfast, you'll enjoy three hours of Latin dance classes every morning. Then get ready for a mouthwatering Mexican lunch prepared by the wonderful Casa chef Ruby and her assistants.
Take the afternoons to enjoy exciting excursions provided by your hosts, or go on your own to explore the incredible natural beauty, beaches, local culture, cafés and shops, or just take a siesta in your private ocean-side room. After dinner at a local restaurant on the beach, enjoy an evening of a dance party with the locals on the premises, a night out at the salsa club with a live band, or simple lounging and good conversation.
The Casa is not a four-star luxury chain hotel, nor does it want to be; it is however a Five Star Retreat Center. It is located on a mountainside and you may walk up 20 or 25 steps to your ocean-side room. You will walk a woodsy uneven path for 5 to 10 minutes in the evenings to a local restaurant. The town is paved in cobblestones. You will hear the natural sounds of the sea and tropical birds. It's all very safe and friendly, a place where women do not fear taking strolls at night, but individuals with mobility questions may want this information.
(Your non-dancing partner is also welcome.)
