‘Tis the season to be partying and that’s just what we’re going to do! Starting with this Friday, December 7th we are moving the studio party to a studio outing at Willowbrook Ballroom to enjoy the swingin sounds of the Flat Cats! Look for a table with our name on it and join us for a great evening of dance and friendship.

So there will be no group lessons at the studio on Friday December 7th or Friday December 14th.

Our gala Christmas party will be as planned for Friday December 21st at 8:30 pm! This is the party of the season and you cannot afford to miss it. Bring a dish to pass and a white elephant gift to give to get in the door free. No gift? No problem, the fee is a kiss at the door under the mistletoe! We will be rockin the night away so be prepared for lots of fun and dancing!
