Mayfair is a series of eight dances dedicated to good manners and common courtesy that is taught through the art of ballroom dancing. In partnership with Fred Astaire Dance Studios, this year promises a fun and modern teaching approach, while also covering the traditional dances, such as the Waltz, Foxtrot, and Cha Cha.
