Instructors (and members) Scott and Carolyn Schaeffer worked with forty-two members who signed up for the six week series of dance lessons of the Carolina Shag. During the lessons, Scott and Carolyn work with each couple allowing dance partners to learn the steps together. The 2007 Dance class proved to be fun with a great group of enthusiastic members.
The Schaeffer’s were introduced to dance as a hobby in 1994, which developed into traveling the country to dance in about eight competitions a year. The Schaeffer’s have competed in dance competitions all across the United States and Canada; in 2003, they won first place in the World’s Championship in Nashville, which is represented by thirty countries. The Schaeffer’s are experienced in many dances, including the Waltz, Cha Cha, West and East Coast Swing, Rumba, Polka, Fox Trot and the Carolina Shag. Their passion for dance allows them to continue learning and perfecting their technique. Not only is dancing a great cardio workout, it is a fun way to connect with your partner. Another series of dance lessons will begin in 2008 with an introduction to the Rumba, Fox Trot and more Swing and Shag!
