Have you always wished you were a better social dancer? Or are you already a competent dancer and looking for opportunities to practice your steps? Either way, the Central Coast Dance Community invites you to “Come Dance with Us” on Saturday, Feb. 28, at the Morro Bay Vets Hall (5:30 to 8 p.m.; all ages; $10 at the door).
Start with a dance lesson from popular instructor Linda Drake from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m., followed by dancing to live music from the Dylan Johnson Quartet.
“Johnson is a member of the Cuesta College faculty and the director of the Cuesta Jazz Combos,” organizers noted. “He is a renowned local bassist whose new quartet specializes in music for the ballroom dance community. In honor of February, attendees are encouraged to wear red.”
Social dance has several benefits, including improved physical health, overcoming shyness, boosting mood, and developing a more diverse social circle—so lace up those shoes and dance.
The nonprofit Central Coast Dance Community is dedicated to providing live music and dance opportunities in Morro Bay. In addition to their monthly Saturday evening dances, the group meets every third Wednesday at the Morro Bay Community Center for a noon potluck followed by dancing until 3 p.m.
