Asians and Friends Chicago will, for the first time, have audience members participate in the show by teaching a country line dance when dinner guest first arrive at 6:30 p.m. Our special guest teacher, a Chicago-based country line dance instructor, Elizabeth Dean, will teach the “Tipsy” (A Bar Dance) line dance to anyone who wants to learn. Don’t worry, it’s easy and will take 10 minutes to learn.
In fact, we’re making things even easier by posting the link to the line dance that Elizabeth will be teaching. You can do some homework prior to the event. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WUNB-EQbsc&list=RD6WUNB-EQbsc&start_radio=1
