As usual, response has been overwhelming. Thank you, all you dance lovers. The Stanford Waltz Weekend II is now full. But you may register and put yourself on the waiting list. We will inform those on the waiting list if spaces open up for them.
The Stanford Waltz Weekend, held by Stanford students' request, combines traditional waltz technique, historic waltz variations, current trends and advanced partnering concepts. The material surpasses that currently offered in the Social Dance Forms of North America courses.
The Waltz Weekend will be led by Richard Powers and Angela Amarillas, at the Elliot Program Center, Stanford Campus.
