This Friday!

Join us for a haunted hoedown themed social ice dance.

All are welcome, no previous dance experience required.

How is it organized?

It’s all for fun, but to avoid chaos there is a tried and true formal structure to every social ice dance.

First, everyone dances the same dance.

Pairs form a line.

Once the music starts, each pair starts one measure after the previous pair.

If there are any solo dancers, they follow the pairs.

The music ends when the last pair skated twice around the rink.

It’s considered poor form to pass other pairs.

If you are a slower pair, make a smaller pattern on the inside; if you want to go faster, use a big pattern, but make sure that you don’t cross over other people’s pattern and always yield to avoid collisions.

The upcoming dances are listed on a board so that dancers can plan ahead and find partners.

Each dance is usually played twice, giving everyone the opportunity to skate each dance even when there is a mismatch among the number of dancers.

Each ice dance session starts with easy dances that everyone can do.

Later, the dances are alternating between easier and more difficult ones.

Requests for less common dances can usually be accommodated.

Beginners and all ages are welcome!

Even if you have not done any ice dancing, you are welcome to try it out!

The preliminary dances are all easy to learn, forward skating.

The Skating Club of Boston occasionally has workshops to teach the steps.

Ice dancing can be a wonderful family activity so all ages are welcome.
