Dinner and Dancing
Are you wondering if your dance partner will be as excited as you are about learning to dance? Do what so many of our students do: try a new cafe and make an evening of it!
Dance class night becomes Date Night with your spouse, your sweetie, or your best friend. There are some unique and affordable restaurants, cafes, dessert places and coffeehouses within five minutes of our Roslindale and West Roxbury dance studios. Memorable experiences need to be scheduled into our busy lives, so maybe treat yourself and your favorite dance partner to an evening of dinner and dancing (or dessert and dancing) you’ll both look forward to.
One of our students (who truly asked me to remain anonymous!) sent us this email when they were signing up for an intermediate dance class:
“My husband and I are having a blast learning how to dance; thank you for making our Monday eves so special and lots of fun! Don’t tell him I said so, but it’s added a lot of spice to our marriage! Yahooooooo!”
