“Social partner dancing has many benefits to the individual and the community. People learn to connect with themselves and each other in a holistic and creative way while having fun and improving their physical health,” says Dawn Dawson, co-owner of DANCIN’ TIME.

“The classes at Universal Preservation Hall are a result of a large demand for fun, affordable evening with your spouse or partner, and a great place to meet new people. These classes were partly inspired when the Max Weinberg band played at UPH last fall,” Dawn added.
