We Wanna Hold Your Hand! Swing Out Saturday October 18 at Leif Erikson in Ballard, Seattle

 We Wanna Hold Your Hand! Swing Out at Northwest Dance Network


We Wanna Hold Your Hand! Join us tomorrow evening at the Leif Erickson in Ballard for Ron Bailey and the Tangents + our free dance lesson = Dance Joy! 7 - 11 pm, Saturday October 18th
At the Leif Erikson Ballroom, $20
One of the region’s most popular dance bands — and a hit at the most recent Seabeck Dance Camp — this high-energy quintet always delivers a great mix of dance music. With renowned Steve Flynn of Jr. Cadillac rockin’ the keyboard and the great Rod Cook on guitar, you gotta know this group’s mix of standards and originals will fill the house. When The Tangents finally unplug their instruments for the night, we pretty much know you’ll head home happy.
Free Pre-Lesson Dance
Join Mark Wilson and Margot Richardson who will teach:
I Wanna Hold Your Hand: Sassy swing moves for a Rock and Roll beat — tips and refinements for how to hold your partner’s hand
Like to get warmed up before the dance? Learn a couple of extra moves? New to dance and want to meet a few people? Then come join us for the free pre-dance lesson! Our instructors will get your dance motor running and your confidence up. Starts at 7pm.
