7:15 to 9 pm - THE BEST INTRODUCTION TO WALTZING, from basics to soaring! Learn everything in less than two hours, from the waltz fundamentals to smoother and more enjoyable waltzing. Become the partner that everyone wants to dance with! This is also the ideal way to ramp up your waltzing before the Stanford Viennese Ball the following weekend.

If you already know a basic waltz, come for dozens of pointers to make your waltzing even better. If you're a beginner, please arrive at 7:15pm for the first steps. Richard teaches Introductory Waltz at Friday Night Waltz only once a year. Don't miss this class!

9pm Party - The Greatest Dance Music from 2000-2005

Richard originally planned to have an evening of music from the decade around the Millennium, 1995-2005, when there was an explosion of beautiful waltzes and dance music with a fresh new sound. But his list of favorites from that decade was 215 songs (!), so he narrowed it down to the best 88 and split it into two evenings. This is Part 2. Many dancers have said they won't miss it because this is when they began dancing, and this music still means a lot to them.

215 dancers came to Part 1 (1995-2000) two weeks ago. As you can see in the set list, Part 2 is even better!

$12 for dance and classes. $10 for dance only from 9 pm to midnight. $10 for students at all times.

No partner necessary. We rotate rapidly in class.
