2022 Community Dance Classes in Downtown Memphis
Spring was all about swing, and boy did we have fun. It was a bit chilly for the first one in March, but the night was still wonderful with an enthusiastic group, a gorgeous sunset, and a marvelous light show from the bridge in the background. We’re not talking about April (don’t ask), but May was extra exciting. One of the participants asked Jesse to record he and his girlfriend dancing, but unbeknownst to anyone, what he was really trying to capture was a proposal! Yup, dropped down on one knee right in the middle of everything. Very romantic.

In the fall we decided to mix things up a bit, starting with cha cha in September. Hot night, hot dance, and hot dancers – fabulous. In October we went back to swing and had a big turnout with lots of energy. The music must have been good too, because even a passing dog walker started bopping along to it. In November we had two offerings to wrap up our 2022 community dance classes. First Wiseacre Brewery kindly hosted a swing class as part of the Fieldaze lineup of events. There were plenty of willing participants on the stage, and quite a few spectators enjoying the show. Some of them even joined in with a little encouragement. And of course the year wouldn’t be complete without at least one salsa class. Although we were originally planning to use Fourth Bluff Park as usual, a last-minute scheduling snafu shifted us to The River Garden. We got the word out though and had a huge turnout. Shout out to the early arrivals that helped move tables and chairs to make space. And although the park is beautiful and the string lights are quite magical, if there’s a next time we’ll definitely find out how to turn on the lights in the pavilion!
