​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 March 25th, 2019

Hello dance friends --

After a beautiful Sunday, it looks like a nice cloudy and rainy Monday awaits. Just the right weather to make us move indoors and work on perfecting our Bingsjö Polska. David Charlebois will be continuing and reviewing following Allen's teaching last week, and Liz Higuera will be running sound.
 Two items of note for this week:
  • Broder Söder has contracted with Nordia House to use a bit more of the main hall for their restaurant, and the area at the south end of the great hall is now for their exclusive use, so they can leave it ready for the next day's use. This means we'll be using the doors to the north, down next to the DJ table, to enter and exit the dance hall.
  • Please remember that some people are very sensitive and/or allergic to strong fragrances, so be very restrained with or avoid using any perfume, cologne, or other scents. 

The dance starts at 7:30 at Nordia House. Please bring indoor shoes to wear on our nice floor.

Weekly Dances

Monday dances: September-May there is a free lesson from 7:30 to 8:30, with open request dancing to 10pm. Summer Monday dances start at 7:30, but there are no lessons in summer. There is also usually some warm-up time from 7:00-7:30. Admission is $5 per person or see below about yearly memberships.

Become a Member - It's a Great Deal

Memberships are now pro-rated at $45  for the rest of the fiscal year. That means you get in to all lessons and dances (including Knut Dance and Birthday Ball) at no additional cost through September 30th. (The full year starting October 1st is $60). This is a fabulous dance deal, at a little more than $1/week. It's never to late to join and start saving.
