We know that you will have a great time! For more than a decade, Waltz Time dances at Glen Echo Park have been one of the most popular Sunday afternoon activities. The group also produces other waltz events throughout the year in addition to the Sunday waltzes. Our events welcome all dancers, new and experienced. Aside from the simple pleasure of dancing, this program:provides waltz instruction prior to each dance;brings together dancers of all age groups;is affordable for whole families;sponsors the annual Evening with Strauss, a Saturday evening Viennese Waltz extravaganza;hosts special weekend classes and other special Sunday afternoon pre-dance workshops;provides an afternoon activity that fits the schedule of many working families; andhas encouraged the growth of many talented waltz dance bands. The waltz dances usually occur twice each month, often the first and third Sundays. Each afternoon features a pre-dance introductory lesson from 2:45 - 3:30 pm, followed by waltzing to live music from 3:30 - 6:00 pm. Many different ensembles are scheduled throughout the year, offering an eclectic mix of waltz repertoire and styles. Included in the day of waltzing are always a few other couples dances, including swing/lindy, tango, hambo, polka, zwiefacher, schottische, and foxtrot.
