🌟 There will be no phones or 📸 🎞️ at this event 🌟 Want to start dancing but have no idea where to start? Afraid to embarrass yourself at a studio? Wish you could learn just one move, very slowly, with other complete beginners, to dip your toe into the pool? You are in the right place, my friend!! At How to Start Dancing, we will cover just ONE MOVE in detail (the Dougie) in a welcoming atmosphere oriented towards total beginners with no dancing experience. We will also discuss how to find the confidence to dance in front of strangers at the club, the subtle points of clubgoing etiquette, tips for slowly adding additional dance moves to your repertoire, and how to avoid looking awkward when you have no idea how to dance. Schedule: 7:30 - 8:00 Learning How to Find the Beat (Small Group Activity) 8:00 - 9:00 Dougie Dance Lesson (Mixed with Advice on Clubbing) 9:00 - 9:30 Dance Practice & Closing Reflections on Finding Self-Confidence (in Small Groups) See you all soon~~ 💖 ✨ Your Host ✨ Your host for this event will be Rachel Summer Cheong. Although she has been dancing for many years, this is her first time teaching a dance class! So she will also be a beginner in the room hehe :-) ✨ About Us ✨ This event series is a project by Difficult Friends, a non-profit Austin arts & humanities club organizing free events for the public. 501(c)(3) baby!!! https://www.instagram.com/difficultfriends/ We empower young Austinites to tackle Difficult ideas and projects. Our core values are: creative growth, intellectual challenge, human connection, and civic imagination. Our events are designed as fun intellectual workouts and creative experiments. We host workshops and discussions that push Austin residents to think harder thoughts, make cooler stuff, and connect more deeply across their human differences. Meaning is Difficult! Embrace the Difficult! 🌈✨ Statement of Welcome & Inclusivity ✨🌈 Difficult Friends is an inclusive community space, and we particularly seek to protect and welcome our LGBTQIA+, queer, transgender, and nonbinary members. Event attendees may be asked to share their preferred pronouns and will be asked to respect the preferred pronouns shared by other participants. Women, immigrants, people of color, religious minorities, people with disabilities, and neurodivergent folks seeking a diverse community are also especially encouraged to attend!
