SAXTONS RIVER, Vt. – Pivot into autumn with swing and tango dance lessons with Matt Peake and Friends at Main Street Arts in Saxtons River, Vt. The lessons will be held on the follwing Thursday evenings: Sept. 14, Oct. 12 and 26, Nov. 9, and Dec. 14, starting at 6:30 p.m.

There is a small fee per lesson. No experience is necessary, and a partner is not required. Bring dance shoes or wear clean shoes you can pivot in.

“Because the interest continues to be high for swing dancing and tango dancing, Matt Peake and Friends will be offering another series of back to back lessons in East Coast swing and Argentine tango on Thursday evenings,” said Peake. “We hope to use the same format of a short lesson to begin each hour, then continue dancing for the rest of each hour,” he continued.

This will be a mixed levels series, so for those who have no swing or tango experience, we will meet with new swing dancers from 6:30-7 p.m. to learn some basics ahead of the swing lesson. Likewise, for tango, we are doing the lesson at 8 p.m., and then can help catch up new tango dancers afterwards and from 9 p.m. to whenever for those who want to stay longer.

Main Street Arts’ mission is to be a catalyst for arts and community, fostering creative expression through artistic experiences, accessible to all.
