GODFREY –Ballroom dance classes are in full swing at Lewis and Clark Community College. The community is invited to step onto the dance floor and explore timeless styles in a fun, structured and welcoming environment.

During these five-week courses, students will learn the fundamentals of social and American-style ballroom dance under the guidance of professional dance instructor William Trent.

“You will gain confidence on the dance floor in no time,” said Trent.

Participants must register with a dance partner, and the cost is $55 per person.

“Put on your dancing shoes and join the fun,” Community Education Division Assistant Becky Moore said. “Ballroom isn’t just for the pros; it’s for the whole community.”

Shoes with leather or vinyl soles are recommended. Classes take place in Hatheway 107 on the Godfrey Campus.
