Donations Welcome

Why? These days our membership fees are just almost enough to meet our expenses. We didn't want to raise them this year, so we're putting a donation jar on the entry table and hoping for the best! If you can help, thank you!

We also have our own teaching DVDs for sale (set of two for $10) and our new sturdy shoe bags for $10 each if you want to contribute that way!

Happening September 17th, 2018

Hello again dance friends,

We had a very fine turnout last week for the opening session of the new season. Several new people came to check us out. We enjoyed them and they enjoyed us as well. We were graced with an unexpected musical bonanza. In addition to Kim, she was joined by Denis on fiddle, Sarah on flute, Dave on accordion AND our evening’s deejay and all around generally good guy Carl stepped away from the turntable and played piano with the other four. Who knew? It was really good. Many thanks to our musicians. You are so appreciated.

This week we’ll have a refresher on the easy dances we learned last week and then we’ll add something more to heighten your fun level. Don’t be shy; come and join us once again. Doors open at 7 pm and lessons begin at 7:30 pm. Our other purdy-good-guy Denis will be making music for us in whatever form that takes. You won’t be disappointed.

Remember, we dance all year! We have open request dancing every Monday night, when it is not a holiday, 8:30-10:00 pm, plus special events.
