Instruction
Dance Fever is sweeping North America and the RA is offering some exciting instruction to meet the demand. Under the expert tutelage of the Guylain Cyr and Associates School of Dance, we hope to have you ready to dazzle at that Christmas party or wedding.

All class participants will be able to put their lessons to good use by attending any of the Saturday night dances offered by the Guylain Cyr and Associates School of Dance instructors throughout the fall and winter at the RA. Your admission is free while your class is in session. As an added bonus this year, all participants will be invited to a special Saturday Night Dinner Dance and Graduation ceremony. Please see schedule below. Please Note- extra classes could be added in the spring/summer if there is enough interest.
