Since 1995, Waltz Time dances at Glen Echo Park have been one of the most popular Sunday afternoon activities. This dance will be held in the Spanish Ballroom.
Each afternoon features a pre-dance introductory lesson from 2:45 - 3:30 pm, followed by waltzing(folk turning style) to live music from 3:30 - 6:00 pm.
All dances at Glen Echo are social events, so both singles and couples usually change partners for each dance. Both men and women are comfortable asking others to dance. It is also quite acceptable for a couple to dance with just each other. Instructors usually ask dancers to rotate during the pre-dance lesson to help ease any gender inbalance, allowing people to meet each other, and create the best learning experience, but it is not required.
Waltzes are not the only dance styles played by the band. They usually play a group of three waltzes at various tempos followed by one other partner dance, that can be a polka, hambo, schottische, swing, blues, tango or something else. If you don’t know that dance, just take a short break, as three more waltzes will follow. The band generally choose the "other" dances from their repertoire, but feel free to make a request.
WHAT TO WEAR:
Wear whatever you feel comfortable dancing in. You will see women variously dressed in jeans, slacks, skirts, or even long dresses; men wear jeans or chinos paired with a t-shirt, dress shirt, or even suit coat and tie.
The best shoes for both men and women have smooth leather soles, such as those found on dress shoes. Both men and women will glide and turn more freely wearing leather rather than shoes with tacky or rubber soles. DON'T RECOMMEND SANDALS, OPENED TOED SHOES, OR BARE-FEET!!!!
\*\*\*Finally, because of the risk of damage to the historic wood floor, they ask that you please do not wear stiletto or similar sharp heels.\*\*\*

BAND PERFORMING: WYNDREÁM with David Knight (fiddle), Ellen Gira (cello), Janet Muse (piano)
