Featuring
DANCIN WITH DAWN

We would like to acknowledge Dawn's outstanding efforts last month. She led the way in teaching us the fundamentals of West Coast Swing, which has been tremendously valuable in teaching us how to add playful steps to our repertoire. We are looking forward to learning more steps in Part 2
April Dance Recap


It was a guy's night with our Birthday Dance celebration. The ladies helped celebrate John Havlik and Jim Meadows night with a Rumba.

The fun continued with a Country 2 Step mixer led by Kathy Peoples

Our door prize winner was George Johnson and our 50/50 winner Rebecca Aubain
The evening would not happen without our wonderful volunteers. Thank you to all who contribute to make our dance an enjoyable night.
Lucy and Tom volunteer their time to do our 50/50 raffle.
We thank them very much.
