San Marcos Class Schedule

Valerie is teaching dance classes, co-sponsored by the City of San Marcos Parks and Recreation Department, at their Activity Center located at 501 East Hopkins Street. Classes meet on Saturdays in Aerobics Room #2, either 4-6pm, or 6-8pm (specific schedule below). Classes will run on a monthly (4 week) basis, costing $40 / single, $70 / couple. Each month will have a specific focus, and we will always review the foundation moves needed before building to the more complex sequences. We will rotate partners throughout the lessons, helping us all to learn faster, to retain the material better, and to make new friends among our classmates, which will double our dancing pleasure!

To register for these classes, contact the San Marcos Parks and Recreation Department by calling them at 512-393-8400 or 512-393-8280. You can also register online by opening a (free) account at www.recconnect.sanmarcostx.gov.

Directions to the Activity Center: do NOT do a mapsearch on-line -- their directions are inaccurate! Just take Hwy 35 to San Marcos and take exit #205, which appears to be leading you to Hwy 12 or Hwy 21, but is actually the exit for Hopkins Street. Turn right at the intersection by the McDonalds. About 1/4 mile further on, Hopkins curves past some railroad tracks. The Activity Center will be on your right, just after the US Army Post and the Public Library.
