Ballet Spartanburg is once again teaching adult shag classes this summer on Monday nights at 7 p.m. at Chapman Cultural Center. The hour-long lessons will continue through August 11.
Marian Norman, ballroom dance instructor, will teach the classes for beginning and intermediate level dancers.

Both couples and singles are encouraged to come learn and practice.
During non-summer months, Ballet Spartanburg offers weekly and ongoing ballroom dance classes, such as waltz, cha cha, tango, and fox trot. For more details or to register, please call (803) 583-0339.
