Stanhope rec offers dance classes for the young and young at heart

Stanhope - The Stanhope Recreation Department will sponsor general line dancing and social ballroom dancing classes for adults and young adults at the Valley Road School, 24 Valley Rd., beginning Jan. 3 and continuing on Wednesday evenings for six weeks.  The line dancing classes will start at 6:15 p.m. and run for one hour for $25 per person. From 7:30 till 9 p.m. social ballroom dancing classes will include foxtrot, swing, Latin dances, tango, and others as time permits. The social ballroom lessons cost $40 per person or $75 per couple. The goals of the lessons are to teach the student enough to be comfortable on the dance floor, get exercise in a fun way, make new friends, and have a great evening.  The classes will be taught by Ronnie Landolfi who has eight years of teaching experience in this field and teaches currently at Sussex and Morris Vocational/Technical Schools, County College of Morris, Mt. Olive Adult School, as well as other locations. Enrollment in the classes is limited and will be on a first come, first serve basis so please register early. Stanhope residents interested in the classes may pick up registration forms at the Municipal Building. Also watch the local borough newsletter for more information.
