Richard Powers Workshop

it’s great to have Richard and Angela coming back to Portland. They are the inspiration for the resurgence of waltz and social dancing that you can find across the country. The workshops - a blend of dancing fundamentals, lesson, talks and practice have been an inspiration for social dancers of all ages. We are still working out the details so that what he teaches will have the most relevance to Portland dancers. Check the website for more details as they are determined.
