Minnesota Studio Kicks Into High Gear for National Ballroom Dance Week

The Fred Astaire studio in Rochester, Minnesota is celebrating the National Ballroom Dance Week in a big way from September 13-28! The National Ballroom Dance Week has been celebrated every September by dance clubs and studios across the country for almost 20 years. Its purpose is to increase awareness of the many mental, physical, and emotional benefits of ballroom dancing.

Staff and students from the Rochester studio are putting on a show at Century High School on Saturday, September 20th at 1 p.m. The theme is "A Tribute to Hollywood" and will feature performances danced to music from the silver screen. Tickets are $10 and proceeds will be donated to the high school's theater department.

The rest of the week will be filled with many public performances, social dances, and free classes for all dance levels. The closing events on Friday, September 26th include two free group classes at the studio.
