Latin Dancing in Buena Vista!

Hi all,

Latin dancer Judah Arrington is hosting dances in Buena Vista, Monday, June 27, 2022!
  • 6pm-8pm: dance lesson
  • 8pm-9pm: open dancing to recorded music
  • $10 per person, $15 for couples
  • For men: Judah recommends dress shoes or comfortable shoes
  • For women: Judah recommends heels, but only if that’s comfortable and safe for you. Kitten heels are okay too but a little higher than that is preferable.
  • Judah will explore salsa, Cha Cha, and merengue!

Judah's bio: "I’m certified in Latin dance teaching by DVIDA, an internationally acclaimed syllabus and method of ballroom dance instruction. I taught in Brentwood, TN for about a year, as well as in Leadville and summit county for about a year. I studied dance in high school and after.

The location: Congregational United Church of Christ, 217 Crossman Ave, Buena Vista, CO 81211. Near the Buena Vista US Post Office. (The dance is held in the same room as the old contra dances were held a few years ago, before COVID.)
