Partner Dance Workshop

Join Stephanie Wolf and Todd Burris at the Floyd Country Store on Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 6:30 pm for a FREE Introductory Partner Dance Lesson

The Handmade Music School presents a FREE Honky Tonk Partner Dance Lesson with Stephanie Wolf & Todd Burris.

Join Stephanie Wolf and Todd Burris from 6:30-7:00PM before the famous Honky Tonk Night in the upstairs community room at the Floyd Country Store. This class will focus on how to connect with a partner, learn to hear the music, and dance with confidence. We will introduce ways to respond easily and consistently to the music’s rhythms, simple turns, and a few embellishments that will make you the talk on the dance floor! No prior experience is needed.

Stephanie Wolf has been dancing for decades and is excited to offer private, semi private, and small group dance lessons through the Handmade Music School. She is teaching Country/Texas Two-Step, other styles of Two-Step, Cajun, Zydeco, and Waltzing. These lessons will be FUN and ATTAINABLE for all.

“I took my first Waltz class in 1995 and I was hooked! Next came Swing dancing, Square dancing, Contra dancing, Two Step (several styles) Cajun Two Step, and Zydeco dancing. I learned every style I had access to! Dancing is a consistent place of joy and my favorite exercise.”( Yes, it’s great exercise!)

I was a dancer first, and musician second. Playing music gives me an even deeper sense of the rhythm associated with different dances. In my classes I pass on, and emphasize, the importance of hearing the beat in the music. Dancing and music go hand in hand! One of my great joys is to see people laughing, smiling and enjoying exercise that doesn’t feel like exercise! Learning to connect to one another, and the rhythm of the music, through dance is an innate part if our humanity.
