Straight from the D: Detroit Social Dances

April 30 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

Detroit Ballroom a.k.a. Motown Style Ballroom has been danced for decades in Detroit. Its roots are based in the Cha-Cha dance combined with various elements of Ballroom Dance viewed at the Greystone Ballroom (1922-1972) in Detroit, MI. It is a social partner dance that when combined with sounds of Jazz, Rhythm and Blues or Neo Soul displays the current form of turns, glides, shuffles and more. The Graystone dance is used as a starter, before opening up into the Detroit Ballroom. However, Graystone is its own dance that is a 4 count of steps and touches but can include glides, drags and turns.
