ECR 2011-2012 Advanced Class

El Camino Reelers are pleased to offer an Advanced class again this year!

Instructors Kurt Gollhardt and Dave Decot will take you through the Advanced repertoire of calls in a fun and fast-paced 30-week series. By the end of the class you will be dancing at the A2 level!

Details:

Classes meet every Thursday from 7:30 to 9:30 pm with a few breaks around the holidays.
Location: St. Andrews United Methodist Church, 4111 Alma Street, Palo Alto. (See map)
Tuition: $150 for both new and repeat students, paid in advance or in two installments of $75 each. Students will always have a place in a square to dance and will get extra attention from the instructors.
We are seeking experienced A2 dancers to attend and help out! Angels pay $4 per session at the door.

For an overview of what you'll learn, here is the class teaching order.
