Laguna International Dancers

Dance classes and activities for all levels and all ages, no partner needed.

NOTICE! Like many groups we are not able to meet because of the coronavirus situation. We will be back as soon as possible!

Until then we meet VIRTUALLY online on ZOOM!

     The Laguna International Dancers (LID) will be holding regular Zoom dance events twice a week, every Wednesday and Sunday evening from 6-8PM Pacific time. We will open the waiting room at 5:45 and let people chat and socialize until we start dancing at 6PM. The teacher/dance leader will be Lee Otterholt. The first half hour will be teaching and dancing of easier dances and the last hour from 7 to 8PM will include teaching and dancing of some more challenging dances.  (A little more teaching on Wednesdays, a little less teaching on Sundays.)

 

     When you contribute we can put you on a mailing list so you will be kept up to date about our twice weekly Zoom events, including the list of dances to be done.  You can also join our Facebook group to be kept up to date.  Just sign in to Facebook and search for the Laguna International Dancers Facebook Group and ask to join.
