Learn to Shake It...for Free!

I love the Austin Public Library. Not only do they help keep story time interesting at my house, but now they are also offering FREE salsa dance lessons! Here's the scoop:

Put on your dancing shoes and join us weekly for Free Salsa Lessons with instructor Raul Ramirez at the Carver, Cepeda, Pleasant Hill, and University Hills Branches of the Austin Public Library. In addition to teaching the steps, Ramirez spends a few minutes educating attendees on the history and background of Salsa music and dance. He makes an effort to dance with each class member if time permits, especially when they need help learning a particular step. The classes are free and open to the public. So what are you waiting for? Get your feet and hips moving to the beat! For more information please call 512-974-7400 or visit www.cityofaustin.org/library.
