Great Escape: Boogie Downtown to Free Dance Lessons

The Music Center offers free dance lessons, from swing to samba, every Friday evening through Sept. 9—no partner or experience necessary.

Put on your dancing shoes and boogie it downtown to the Music Center Plaza on Friday evenings through Sept. 9 for free dance lessons under the stars.

Spice up your night (and maybe your life) with popular dance styles from around the globe at Dance Downtown. No experience is necessary. It's happening each week from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. A dance floor is provided, and there's no need to bring a partner. If you already know a dance, go for it and do your thing.

It's first come, first served, and donations are welcomed. While you are at it, grab a bite at Tina Tacos next to the Spotlight Cafe. For more information, click here.
