Join Darrell and/or Sarah for the Art of Dance monthly Cardinal Bar Field Trip. This is a time to go out dancing with your Art of Dance friends!

The Cardinal Bar (just East of Capitol Square) has a newly remodeled dance floor. Salsa Night (Thursday night) usually attracts a big crowd. Get there early for the most dancing (and the most room on the dance floor).

Check their website and call the club with any specific questions.

The dress for club dancing is whatever you want to wear. You may want to wear rubber-soled dance sneakers (vs your good suede-bottom dance shoes) since this is primarily a bar/club and not a social ballroom dance event.

Darrell is teaching the pre-dance Cha Cha lesson at the Saturday, 24 March 2012 dance!

AoD students: This is a great place to go and practice what we’ve been working on, and to meet other students of dance. I have been to the dance in Belvidere many times and enjoy it for not only its beautiful venue (newly redecorated!) but for the energy, enthusiasm, and welcoming environment provided by the many people who attend. I usually expect to see over 100 people at the dance!

Doors for the 4th Saturday dance open at 6:45 PM with the lesson starting at 7:00 PM. The 4th Saturday dance is held every month and includes a group lesson from local professional ballroom dance instructors and generally includes a mid-evening showcase put on by the evenings instructor, the instructors’s students or other members of the local ballroom dance community. In addition we have one or two dance mixers as part of the evenings schedule.

Belvidere is only a few tolls into IL, just past the familiar “Belvidere Oasis” freeway overpass convenience station. It only takes about an hour & fifteen minutes to get there from Madison, and it is well worth the journey!

5:00pm sharp: Carpool meets (see below)
7-8pm: Group dance lesson
8-11pm: Social Dance

Our carpool meets at the Dutch Mill Park and Ride lot located at Stoughton Road and the Beltline in Madison (map below) at 5:00pm sharp. We will take as many vehicles as we need to accommodate everyone, leaving the rest of the vehicles at the park and ride. Please bring gas and toll money for drivers.

Sarah is leaving in the middle of July for a one-year library position at Yale University, and wants to bid farewell to her Madison dance family. As the French know, “farewell” is not a permanent state, but is only “until the re-seeing” (au re-voir). Come “see her until next time” in a proper dance fashion: on the dance floor! This will be the second of two “au revoir” dances, the first being at the West Coast Swing dance at the Badger Bowl on Wednesday night.

The Cardinal Bar (just East of Capitol Square) has a newly remodeled dance floor. Salsa Night (Thursday night) usually attracts a big crowd. Get there early for the most dancing (and the most room on the dance floor).
