Have you always wanted to learn to dance? This is a joyful weekend for committed couples seeking to learn to dance or improve their dancing, to develop an activity to enjoy together, and through this activity, deep in their faith. Through the verbal and nonverbal instruction of partner dancing and the role of leading and following, we learn how to improve communication, create trust, and find more joy in relationship. We will learn the basics of waltz, foxtrot, swing, rumba, cha-cha and merengue in a relaxed, noncompetitive and fun style. The week and also includes time for reflection and quiet.
