Summary

Vault Academy Taught by Mandana Khoshnevisan

Do you ever feel like “going dancing” but aren’t quite sure what to do when you get there? Do dance floors at events make you feel excited and/or scared? Always wanted to dance like no one’s watching? Looking for a fun night out that’s part how-to and part get-down? You’ve come to the right place! Welcome to the inaugural night of Dance Party 101! Your host Mandy Khoshnevisan (B&B resident artist and improv/movement professional) will lead partygoers through a casual dance odyssey, infused with the spirit of improv: starting with some whole-group silliness, playing some improv dance games and getting loose; then learning one or two versatile and simple partner-dance steps, and then continuing the party for the rest of the night! The dance floor will be open and so will the B&B lobby bar. It’s part dance class, part dance party. Pick up some strategies to dance with groups of friends, on your own, and with a partner, and then put those into practice on your own! This month’s event may be the first of a series, so stop by in your 80s prom best, or whatever else makes you feel fancy, and come get silly with us!

Doors at 6pm; event begins at 6:30pm

Optional outfit theme: 80s Prom!
       (Or, feel free to wear any outfit that makes you feel fabulous)
