Come at 6:30pm for a mini-dance lesson for beginners. \nWe’ll have dances for all levels\, beginning to advanced\, and all forms (line\, couple\, and set). Dress comfortably in layers; sneakers or low-heeled dance shoes recommended. Donations to help cover the cost of the hall are welcome. We do dances from nearly every country in the world\, and the music is incredible. \nSend your dance requests to pfdcparty@gmail.com along with any questions\, comments\, or suggestions. \nPlease stay home if you are sick\, and please wear a mask if you are unsure or have been exposed to someone with a contagious illness. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
