October Ballroon Dance Class
Dr. Yvette Bolen and Ben Heatherly

The October ballroom dance class had their finale on Thursday October 28th at the Athens State University Gymnasium. The four week class met on Mondays or/and Tuesdays nights and learned the West Coast Swing and the Fox Trot. Each student receives along with the personal instructor a  instructional written material along with a complimentary CD of dance songs.

After the final class there is a dance social for all the students to attend and meet those who attended the alternate night. This month's students were a mixture of ASU students, past dance class students and new students to the ballroom dance.

Dr. Yvette Bolen has 15 years experience in dance instruction and over 20 years experience in choreography ranging from high school to collegiate and professional levels. Ben Heatherly is a physical education instructor who has successfully taught ballroom dance to a wide range of grade levels including students as young as second grade.

*Not sure if you are ready to SWING? Read this testimonial from a former student:

"I am very pleased to see the announcement of more Ballroom Dance lessons given by Dr. Yvette Bolen and Ben Heatherly beginning in October.

If you have hesitated to take Ballroom Dance lessons previously because you did not have a partner to take to class, wait no more! After many years of thinking I could not take lessons alone, I signed up for the class this summer and had a wonderful experience. Dr. Bolen said it was not necessary to have a partner to take the lessons and she was oh so right.

I'm ready for a refresher on the West Coast Swing and anxious to learn the Foxtrot in October. Put your hesitation aside and come join the fun."
