Gotta dance? Step it up in Des Moines

Several times over the past few weeks, on various days and times, I’ve seen little girls all glammed up in little sequined costumes, crossing downtown streets with their parents in tow headed toward the Civic Center. (I’m actually old enough that my dance recitals were held at the KRNT Theater, but that’s another story!)

Anyway, seeing all those kids got me thinking the other day about the tap dancing class I took in college with my good friend Sandy,  and about the “salsa nights” that are now held regularly in Des Moines. And it occurred to me that it shouldn’t just be kids who are encouraged to dance.

So here are a few resources for the grown-ups, just in case you’ve got a case of Happy Feet:

All That is Swing in Des Moines is the blog for Swing Des Moines, a local club of swing dancers (class schedule)
Salsa Iowa will get you out on the floor for sure - right, Alba?
Des Moines Dance is all about ballroom dancing
Tap Des Moines stages a dancing parade!

Finally, for those think that practice makes perfect, better think again!
