Shake Your Booty

Just thought I'd give you a head start on the New-Year's-Resolution-To-Exercise-More thing.

Vinnie's Jump and Jive has announced their January calendar. If you've never been to Vinnie's, it's the storefront dance hall across Main Street from Amato's Toy & Hobby (in fact, Vinnie's is named for Vinnie Amato...but that's another story.)

Their slogan is "All kinds of dance. All kinds of people." Here's a quick breakdown for January:

On Sundays, you can bellydance.
On Mondays, you can do tap or jazz, or bring your toddler to morning dance class.
On Tuesdays, you can tap dance early (if you're a senior) or swing dance late (there's a swing class before the dance if you don't know how)
On Wednesdays, you can do NIA (you'll have to google that one) or Tap, and teenagers have their own ballroom class.
On Thursdays, it's breakdance or waltzing.
On Fridays, it's New York Salsa. Except you're still in Middletown.
On Saturdays, it's NIA in the morning and a rotating schedule of other stuff, like the "First Saturday of the Month" swing dance which draws dancers from surrounding states.

You don't need a partner and most classes are about $12, with discounts for students (and Tuesday night swing dances are just $5). Learn more about Vinnie's at their website: www.vinniesjumpandjive.com.

See you on the dance floor!
