7:15 we’ll start with dreamy romantic Sleeping Beauty Waltz taken directly from the classic movie scene of Princess Aurora hiding out in the forest is surprised by Prince Charming who switches in with woodland creatures as her dance partner

8 pm We party down with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves ramping up our dance energy with the Silly Song Polka, and a cameo role featuring the Magnificent Dopey.
The first two dances will be chorographed with partner changes.
Then, as time permits we’ll swing into Swing for our third dance with the Jungle Book’s “I Wan’na Be Like You”
(The Monkey Song featuring King Louie, Mowgli and Balloo the Bear). Loosen up your arms and vibes for a swingin romp with us.
