We’re adding a third dance per month to ‘road test’ potential larger locations for our regular dance series.  This one is at the First Baptist Church, corner of Clover St. and Allen’s Creek Rd, from 3 – 5 pm.  Each of these dances will have a skill building focus — we will work on things like timing, carriage, long arms on hand turns, interaction, using space, etc.  Some prior experience with English dancing suggested.  $5 admission.
