##Learn to Waltz (April 16, 2016)

Hi there,

I’m glad you attended my April 16th, 2016 waltz workshop hosted by Louisville Country Dancers. This email has a few links with information if you’d like to do followup research (or followup listening).

Waltz music:

Here is the playlist used for today’s workshop (contents listed below):

Here is a 2.5 hour radio show of entirely waltzable instrumental post rock:

and here is a playlist with many many waltzes in various BPMs and styles, for beat and phrase ID practice.

Waltz Opportunities:

Dance with us in St. Louis at our monthly waltz party, the Sunday after the 3rd Saturday, with an hour lesson at 6, and dancing to the Halcyon Light Orchestra from 7-9.

In Cincinnati, waltz evenings are held on 5th Saturdays, with a lesson at 7 and waltzes from 8 to 10:30.

Lexington Vintage Dance offers waltz class series—their current 5-week course began April 11.

Waltz Reading:
