If summer has you feeling like dancing, you’re in luck because you can enjoy free dance lessons in Seattle parks this summer. Dancing ‘til Dusk is back for its 16th year, bringing Seattle Parks and Recreation and partners together for 14 glorious nights of outdoor dancing.
Here’s when it is happening, where and what to expect from Dancing ’til Dusk!
The event happens across parks in Seattle, and begins with a dance lesson for the first hour. No experience is needed but keep in mind the class rotates partners. If you’d prefer not to, you can bring a partner to the lesson.
Make sure to wear clothing and shoes that you are comfortable dancing in and don’t forget your water.
