Aloha Ballroom Dance Academy

Got this e-mail from Rita O'Connor, Professional Dance Teacher and owner of Aloha Ballroom Dance Academy over on the Valley Isle. Here's an excerpt of what's in store for the dancers on Maui.........



Maui, HAWAII – The Aloha Ballroom Dance Academy, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit features Maui’s ONLY Professionally-Instructed Ballroom & Latin Dance classes, hosts their Registration Night on Wednesday, July 7th to kick off their new dance series for July-September featuring Beginner East Coast Swing & Intermediate Foxtrot! This evening will feature a pupu potluck as well as social dance and everyone interested in learning to dance is welcome to join this Guinness World Record holding class! Rita O’Connor, N.D.C.A., will instruct every Wednesday at the Kihei Community Center from 6:30 – 9:00 pm. The total cost for the 3-month course is $50 per person. Special Discount if registered by July 7th is only $40 per person - less than $2 per class! Open registration throughout the course. No partner necessary! Singles and couples welcome! Teens through adults! Beginners through intermediate dancers take the floor! Classes begin July 14th – students can join anytime! Visit www.alohaballroom.com or call 879-0055 for more information.

This new dance series highlights the energetic East Coast Swing as well as one of the easiest & smoothest dances: Foxtrot - so sign up early to secure a space in these exciting classes! “We are trying to make partnership dancing a fun and social event for both couples and singles,” says Rita O'Connor. “It’s a wonderful way for couples to build upon their relationship and share a new activity together in a relaxing atmosphere. Similarly, singles or those without a dance partner for the evening can enjoy the company of others who want to learn to dance without feeling social pressure to have a steady partner in order to do ballroom dancing.” “Ballroom & Latin dancing has changed with the times,” Rita explains. “The success of “Dancing with the Stars” TV program has prompted a resurgence in Latin & Ballroom dancing. I enjoy featuring contemporary music selections as well as the traditional songs to make it easier for people to recognize a dance. Our students range from young adult to mature adult and crosses all cultural barriers!”
