FREE BACHATA CLASS & FREE ENTRY AT BAILANDO SUNDAYS - Be at one Regent ST
Kick off your week with music, movement, and great vibes. Come solo or with friends—no partner needed!
**Schedule (This Sunday):**
• 6:30 PM – Free Bachata Taster
• 7:00 PM – Bachata Classes (3 Levels)
• 8:00 PM – Salsa Classes (3 Levels)
• 9:00 PM–12:30 AM – FREE Social Dancing (Salsa, Bachata, a touch of Kiz)
**What to expect:**
• Friendly teachers, clear level splits, and lots of practice time
• Great music and a welcoming crowd for all levels—absolute beginners to improvers
• Central location, easy transport, and good vibes all night
**Why social dancing is good for you:**
Social dancing is a fun workout that boosts your cardio, coordination, and posture—without feeling like “exercise.” It reduces stress, fires up your brain with musical timing and footwork patterns, and improves confidence through gentle challenges and quick wins. Dancing with different partners builds connection, empathy, and communication skills (you literally learn to “listen” with your body). It’s also an incredible way to make friends and feel part of a community—one song at a time.
Good to know:
• No partner or experience required
• Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and arrive a bit early for level check-in
• Classes start right on time—don’t miss your warm-up!
Price: £10 one class £12 two classes
6:30 PM class is FREE intro to bachata
RSVP now so we can plan levels and floor space. See you on the dance floor! 💃🕺

Contra dance with Big Scioty on March 7 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Frank Buschelmann**
**Band: The Rosenthorns**
**Big Scioty Contra Dance**
**temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/)
Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
