Easiest, most casual was South Florida Swing Dance Productions. Last year, we did a Zumba class there, and now I see Belly Dance is offered, so they're open and welcoming.
This year, Salsa has two nights, but we missed Wednesday visiting relatives. Friday, several of the group from Crystal Ballroom (AKA Club Dance) were there too for an interesting figure that used his elbow to lead. Next came a lead to her open arm that they called Karate chop. Takes a bit of space for that second. Then she should pull in to a narrower profile, if you were to try it at a Salsa club especially.
Saturday, we forewent Crystal Ballroom's married couples night for the Swing night with the kids. South Florida Swing Dance Productions is the name because the owners specialize in Lindy with high school students. Two years ago, the place was crowded with a very active group who also put on shows, often for the military, Colonels perhaps associated with Cape Canaveral, just an hour north of Jensen.
But then they graduated. High school groups do that, running with their age group exclusively, which means that the studio is periodically pretty empty.
We loved it. Many of their choices for Lindy were gorgeous Foxtrots to our ears.
The young men led well using some great stuff that felt quite new to me. Fellow dancers from Sandwich, Rick and Ellen Moran, showed up by chance, so that was fun too.
