Dance With Me is an adult social dance studio dedicated to making learning to dance fun, easy, and enjoyable for everyone.

Our friendly, relaxed atmosphere welcomes dancers of all levels—whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills. Established in 2005 by Anne and Andy Walls, Dance With Me’s goal is providing quality social dance instruction while creating a community of dancers who enjoy learning and dancing. We teach primarily social dancing (aka partner dancing), though we offer occasional classes in performance dances such as hip hop, tap dancing or line/group dances like Thriller. A few examples of dances we offer: Waltz, Foxtrot, American Tango, Argentine Tango (Salon, Milonga, and Valtz), Mambo, Cha Cha, Rumba, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Cumbia, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Hustle, Nightclub Sway (aka Nightclub Two-Step), Texas Two-Step, Polka, and Triple Two-Step (aka Double Two-Step). Sign up for group lessons or private instruction and see not only how easy we make it to learn social dance, but how much we can enhance your dance abilities!

Researchers in New York followed hundreds of people in their late 70s and 80s to see which pastimes went with a sharper old age. Among the physical activities, one stood alone, and it wasn't walking.

The Bronx Aging Study, run from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, enrolled 469 people over 75 who had no dementia at the start. Each reported how often they did a long list of leisure activities. Over a median of about five years, 124 developed dementia. Joe Verghese and colleagues published the analysis in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2003.

Overall physical activity showed no link with dementia risk. The team checked walking, swimming, cycling, group exercise, climbing stairs and housework one by one, and none reached statistical significance.

Dancing was the exception. People who danced several times a week had about a quarter of the dementia risk of those who rarely danced. That was after adjusting for age, s*x, education, chronic illness, baseline thinking scores and the other activities people did.

A few brain hobbies stood out too. Frequent board game players showed a similar drop, as did people who played a musical instrument.

Zombie recruitment has officially closed for the year... but volunteer recruitment is still going strong! 🎃

Thriller is right around the corner, and we're still looking for a few more amazing humans to help make this year's event a success. While our zombie ranks are full, it takes a whole team of living people to keep hundreds of undead dancers, thousands of spectators, and all the behind-the-scenes details running smoothly.

We'll be holding a Volunteer Meeting on Sunday, October 11 at 3:00 PM. If you've already signed up to help, please plan to attend if possible. We'll go over event logistics, volunteer assignments, schedules, parking, timing, and all the important details you'll need to know before the big day.

Haven't signed up yet? There's still time! Come to the meeting and see where you might fit in. Not sure what volunteering involves? That's exactly what the meeting is for.

Can't attend the meeting but still want to help? We'll absolutely still take you! 😄 Just message us and let us know and we'll make sure you get the information you need.

From crowd assistance and performer support to helping keep the event flowing smoothly, every volunteer plays an important role in making Thriller on C-Street one of the largest and most unique Halloween events in the region.
