Horsetooth Hoppers
A new season for the Horsetooth Hoppers performance team is beginning soon with the goal to perform at the annual New Years Eve Ball in Fort Collins. We are excited to work with Shauna Marble, a well known swing dance instructor and choreographer from Boulder, to create a NoCo Swing Dance community routine. This routine will consist of classic six and eight count Lindy Hop moves, as well as Charleston that you will find on the social dance floor.
If you know some basic swing dance moves and you would like to elevate your dancing, there is nothing that will do that faster than being part of a fun team of dancers with the same goal. If you are interested or have any questions, send us a private message on Facebook or shoot us an email at contact@nocoswingdance.com.
