In addition, you will experience the joy of dancing as you express your creativity, connect and move in harmony with your dance partner, and become more graceful and confident in your dancing. You will experience greater confidence in any social setting as you put others at ease with your partnering skill.

Kathy Babcock began dancing at age 5 with classes in ballet. Then, as a young adult, she expanded her dance training to include ballroom, jazz, and tap. In 1979, she became a ballroom dance instructor. Since then, she has taught a variety of dance forms (ballroom, jazz, tap, ballet, country/western, and aerobics) at various locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, on board Princess Cruises’ ships, and in Redding. Since moving to Redding in 1989, Kathy has also choreographed several community ballroom dance, musical comedy, and jazz dance productions. Some of these have been annual events (i.e., Foothill High School’s Club Cougar, Shasta College musicals, & Dancing with the Stars Shasta County Style) and have included all age groups from children through older adults. Kathy continues to expand her knowledge of dance by attending dance classes and workshops regularly and performing in dance concerts and recitals whenever possible.

Price for one month of classes is $45 per person ($35 student rate) or $20 per class. For more information, click here.
