Are you ready to get out on the dance floor and boogey with your dance partner?
Attention, friends! Get Off Your Rockers is starting a new weekly swing dance class especially offered for our group. Michelle Halprin has been talking with Margie Adams, a highly rated, experienced swing dance instructor in San Diego. Margie is passionate about teaching and dancing. She performed both locally and in Europe and is experienced in multiple dance styles. Michelle can attest to her skills, dedication, and special attention to her students. After all, she has been studying with Margie for the past eight years!
The initial class, "Introduction to Jitterbug," runs one time per week for four weeks. Cost of this class is $72.00 per person, just $18 per person per session.
Jitterbug is an easy-to-learn partner dance to 50’s, 60’s and rock and roll music. We welcome dancers of all experience levels, although the class will start at an introductory level.
After you sign up on this site, please contact Margie Adams (619-291-3775) to provide your enrollment fee via credit card or Venmo to reserve your space now!
What to expect:
- Four progressive 50-minute sessions during the month of February, each building on steps and skills taught from previous weeks. Note: You must sign up for the entire four-class series.
- You need to recruit a partner to attend with you so we each have a partner. One will be the lead (usually a male) and the other a follower (usually a female).
- Bring smooth bottomed shoes, that buckle, tie, or otherwise secure to your feet and that won’t mark up the dance floor. Dress is casual. No need for fancy clothing here.
- Please plan on being in the classroom ready to dance on time. Being on time helps us get started on time and minimizes disruptions to the instruction.
- You must sign up and pay for all four classes in advance. Pre-registration and pre-payment to Margie no later than Thursday, January 28 is required. SIGN UP ON THE FEBRUARY 3 EVENT.
- Register on the site and then contact Margie with your billing information.

Registration is required
Attendance rules:
- There are no signups at the door.
- Both partners must register for this class on this site. If you are a member, you can register yourself and your partner (who can be either a member or a non-member) at one time.
- If registrations are done separately, please give Margie Adams your partner's name when you call her to pay for the class. Each partner needs to pay $72.00 for the series of four classes.
- All class sign-ups are nonrefundable. There are no make-up sessions and no class credits for missed sessions.
- If you miss a class, Margie will start each class session with a short review, but each week you will learn new steps and will progress the instruction so that by the end of the month you will be able to show your stuff.
- If only one partner can attend, the partner who can attend should still plan on attending. We will rotate partners throughout the class so that your dance time is maximized.
- Minimum class size is 8 students. If fewer people sign up by the deadline, we reserve the right to cancel the class. If this should happen, you will be notified by Margie by Monday, February 1.
