Please bring a clean pair of shoes to change into, or clean your shoes off thoroughly once you get inside, before you step onto the dance floor. We want to protect that beautiful wood floor! 
Dances range from beautiful to raucous. Even if you’ve never tried anything like this before, come on over! Feel free to listen and watch from the sidelines or jump in. We’ll teach you everything you need to know, and the crowd has a reputation for being welcoming, eager  to draw newcomers into the fun. We will continue to offer variations and new dances to keep the experienced dancers engaged! 
Share our video with friends to whet their appetite!  
Masks are welcome but not required. Please stay home if you feel ill or are testing positive for Covid-19.
