Dance lessons return to IVCC Continuing Education offerings

Dust off those dancing shoes and join the fun, because dance lessons are back on the Illinois Valley Community College Continuing Education Center’s calendar.

Separate sessions for both beginners and advanced students are scheduled on Thursdays from Feb. 6 through March 13.

Learn to survive most social occasions by mastering the basics in Wedding Reception Survival, which meets at 7 p.m. at Oglesby’s Lincoln School, 755 Bennett Ave.

Learn the Electric Slide, Cha Cha Slide, Swing and Waltz as well as some slow dance moves – all essential skills to confidently take on any social event. Tuition is $75 and the class ID is 19644.

Or elevate your skills and style with the Intermediate-Advanced Swing Dance class, which meets at 8:15 p.m. at the Oglesby school. This class is designed for dancers with a foundation in swing basics who are ready to tackle more complex patterns, techniques and styling. Tuition is $75 and the class ID is 19645.

Both sessions are taught by Rod and Jane Schomas, who later this spring will also offer beginning swing and salsa lessons.
