Don your dancing shoes and head over to the Manassas Park Community Center at Costello Park for Line Dance Classes. The classes are instructed by the local nonprofit group The “7” Step Hand Dance Academy, and they offer a line dancing class in African American D.C. Hand Dancing. This type of dance was started all the way back in the 1930s, and it combines an eight-count swing dance with a series of six standard moves for all to follow.
Not only is it a perfect pre-week stress reliever, it is super fun! Grab some friends and head down to try it yourself. Starting February 5 and running most following Sundays, they will offer a beginner class option at 2:30 p.m., as well as two intermediate class options for those with a few established skills at 3:30 p.m. (level one) and 4:30 p.m. (level two).
