Lyndhurst residents learn fancy footwork
It wasn’t too long ago that Township Public Affairs Commissioner Brian Haggerty launched the free seminar “Mannerly Speaking” to impart the virtues of “Dining and Social Etiquette” for all Lyndhurst residents. In his effort to further enhance the lives of young and old alike, Brian has literally added a next step to his popular program …a dance step!
On Thursday, March 11th, at the Lyndhurst Health Department Building, a free course entitled ”Social Dancing for Social Confidence” will begin. The program will teach Lyndhurstians how to enjoy themselves at any venue that includes social dancing. Township resident Andrew Abrams and his troupe of dance instructor specialists will teach the basics of most of the popular partner dances including: Merengue, Rumba, Cha Cha, Mambo / Salsa, Hustle, Swing, Foxtrot, Waltz, and Argentine Tango.
The program will be comprised of a series of classes over a one-year term that will end in a gala formal celebration. Students will joyfully exercise their newfound skills in social correctness and aptitude at the dinner table as well as on the dance floor at the First Annual Lyndhurst Ball. The party will include performances by professional dancers as well as the students themselves. The Thursday night classes will be conducted on a bi-weekly basis; and will include a 2-hour lesson with practice session. Class time will be from 7:30pm to 9:30pm.
Mr. Abrams guarantees that anyone with two left feet will be cured of that affliction; and they will become confident social dancers at any social function, for the rest of their lives. Mr. Abrams says, “Dance is great for the mind, body, and soul; and all are invited to enjoy those benefits”. For registration, you can call Phyllis at the Lyndhurst Health Department.
