Friday Night Waltz is now safer than ever. We have conducted Carbon Dioxide tests. A level of 400 is what you find outside. A level of 800 begins to become poor air. When we activate our powerful fans, the CO2 level in our dance hall is 400, same as outside. Any covid in the hall air is evacuated along with the excess CO2 in just a few minutes. With mask requirements, free masks, vax card requirements, free water bottles, free gloves, purex bottles, and email addresses for contact tracing, we feel that we have minimized possible spread. There is no possiblity of 100% prevention, but we feel that we have made FNW as safe as we can. Thanks for cooperating in making FNW a healthy and safe and FUN! environment.

After decades of mostly 4/4 pop music, the 1990s music saw an explosion of beautiful waltzes, plus the full spectrum of social dance music, with a fresh new sound for swing, tango, west coast swing, hustle polka, cha cha, salsa, and more. The hard part of programming tonight was choosing which of eighty 1990s waltzes to play. They were all so good!

Richard Powers and Angela Amarillas teach the classes from 7:15 to 9 pm. Richard is our dance music DJ from 9pm to midnight.

7:15pm - Cross-Step Waltz Variations. Continuing from the last FNW, here are more variations that are new, or may need reviving. The class will quickly begin with the cross-step fundamentals, then move on to more creative waltzing. Angela partnered Richard's classes throughout the 90s, and Richard is the world's foremost expert in cross-step waltz. Learn cross-step waltz variations from the sources.

8:15pm - Cross-Step Waltz Mixer Variations. Also called Waltz Rueda, these are freestyle riffs that work well in the Cross-Step Waltz Mixer. Some of these are graceful and flowing, some are flashy, some whimsical, some surprising. You'll love them. If you're a beginner, come to the 7:15pm class, then you'll be set for this class.
