MoCo Rec ballroom dancing classes

[Anonymous]

I'm ballroom dancing curious: who do you think attends these classes? Mostly seniors? I like the idea of learning classic dances and this one has the benefit of being in the evening, when I can fit it in. Most MoCo Rec classes are during the day or weekend.

Try classes at Glen Echo, waltztimedances.org or Gottaswing.com if you want more options. Also places like chevychaseballroom.com offer many types of dancing styles. There's a Latin dance place on Georgia Avenue in DC (Sylvia Dances or something).

I've only attended one class from among the ones I listed above. It was so fun I'm planning on more.

So I've done a little investigation and here's what I've gleaned. Most dancing classes are fine for singles. Both single men and women show up. Then you rotate partners every 5 mins or so, so everybody gets to dance.

I don't know who attends rec center classes. The class I'm attending attracted a range of ages from young couples getting ready for their wedding to 40s, 50s, and older. I think there's a 70-something in our class, and she's doing great.
