These popular classes are held on Wednesday evenings and begin on September 17 at 7pm for Beginning Tango and 8pm for Level 2 hustle. Learn the basics, how to lead or follow and some “flashy” steps while enjoying these popular dances. Register by September 10. The class cost is $50 or $45 for members of the QAC Arts Council. Lessons in Level 2 Tango, Beginning and Level 2 Cha Cha, and Waltz will be offered through December. Contact the council or visit their website www.arts4u.info for complete class listings.
