What better way to mark back-to-school season than with a masterclass from the masters themselves, the illustrious Willow Colson-Wall and her partner-in-crime Mr. Dr. Professor Neal Klein (yes, all of those titles are real)? Willow and Neal are two of a lucky few who have had a hand in the growth of nearly all of Boston’s up-and-coming advanced/all star dancers, so when we say you need to be in this class, trust us- you really do.
We have residential neighbors at this venue who appreciate their sleep and their resident-only parking spots. Please monitor your volume outside of the venue and take care not to park in marked resident spots or on the left-hand side of the garage.

ABOUT WILLOW & NEAL
After a few years of running the registration desk at Swingin’ New England, Willow stepped on the floor in 2005 and never looked back. Her extensive background in ballet, contemporary, and modern dance have helped her become a versatile dancer and instructor. Willow is an equally adaptable DJ and always looks forward to playing for her home crowd in Boston. However, her true passion in life is curling up in bed with a giant container of dill pickles and snuggling with her rescue pup, Rodney.
Neal has been dancing since 1979 and has taught over 25,000 people to swing dance! He has been part of the Boston west coast swing scene since the beginning and has had a hand in organizing many beloved dances both past and present. He currently serves as one of the masterminds behind Dancing Fools (sister dance of Dirty Water WCS!). Neal is also an Associate Professor at Lesley University, where he teaches a variety of psychology courses and a west coast swing course. While he holds a doctoral degree in education, don’t call him Dr. Klein- it scares him. Just Neal is fine!
