Gateway to offer group-dance lessons

Chris Graham

Steve Shergold of Shergold Studio in Charlottesville will begin dance lessons at the Gateway on Sunday, Oct. 23 at 4 p.m.

Shergold taught salsa lessons before the Gateway performance by the Afro-Caribbean band, Orquesta Tropikiimba in August and found the Gateway a perfect venue for teaching dance.

“I am looking forward to teaching four-week sessions in Waynesboro,” said Shergold.

The fee for the four-week course of beginner salsa lessons is $40 per person, paid in advance.  Men will receive a 50 percent discount.

Shergold is the founder and owner of Shergold Studio located in Charlottesville. He has assisted in the development of choreography and training of actors / extras for TV soaps, and for TV films and stage including sword fight choreography.

Shergold has 12 years experience with training dancers for social dance, special events such as weddings and quinceañeras and has produced award-winning competitors. His specialty is teaching the genuine lead and follow technique and not just dance patterns. Classes are informative, educational, entertaining and fun.

To sign up for the four-week series call Wayne Theatre Alliance at 540-943-9999.
