A Social Dancer’s Guide to the Rio Grande Dance Classic

A Social Dancer’s Guide to the Rio Grande Dance Classic

Ballroom, Country-Western, and swing dancers from the Southwest and beyond will gather this week to compete at the Rio Grande Dance Classic in Albuquerque, April 13 – 16.

Social dancers may think a competition has little to offer them. We encourage them to think again.

Here are dozens of reasons for social dancers to consider spending some time at the Rio Grande competition.

Sunday’s dance is 3 years in the making

Sunday’s dance is 3 years in the making

Our next USA Dance — this Sunday, April 2 — features a lesson that’s been three years in the making.

Susan and Gary Kellogg were originally scheduled to teach a Night Club Two-Step lesson in March 2020. But that dance never happened — it was our first casualty of the coronavirus pandemic. So we’ve invited them back to finish what they never got a chance to start.

Sunday’s dance is 3 – 5 p.m. at the Albuquerque Square Dance Center, 4915 Hawkins St. NE. Doug McClellan will DJ. The Kellogg’s Night Club lesson starts at 2:15 p.m.
