FULTON –
It’s the beginning of a new year and The Turning Pointe School of Dance
can help you get started on the right foot – so to speak.
The dance school at 2387
Locust St. S. is offering an eight-week ballroom
dance workshop series Thursdays Jan. 10 through March 6.
Joseph Rittenhouse, a part-time faculty member at the University of Akron
who teaches ballroom and Latin dance courses, will teach two classes for the
workshop: Absolute Beginner Ballroom/Latin and Absolute Beginner Argentine
Tango. The ballroom and Latin class is
6:30-7:30 p.m. Thursdays and the Argentine Tango class is 7:30-8:30 p.m. Thursdays.
Cost is $95 for individual and $175 for couple; for
both classes $175 for individual and $320 for couple.
For the past 18 years, Rittenhouse has made ballroom and Latin dance his
profession. He was certified at a Fred Astaire studio in Columbus and continued to train with top
competitive professionals such as Tony Meredith and Melanie Lapatin. He has
managed three studios in Orlando
and he has competed as a professional couple at the World Salsa Quarterfinals
in 2001. The workshop series at The Turning Pointe is perfect for people
without any dance experience or as a refresher course.
