Come join the party!  Dancing is so much fun.  It is also a great way to meet folks who have the same interest.

No experience is necessary.  Beginner dancers will learn basic steps and dance terminology while the experienced dancers will sharpen their skills and techniques.

In this 5-week class, you will learn a mix of classic oldies and current dances to both country and pop music with plenty of review each week.  A list of dances will be provided in class.

Bring a water bottle with you, wear comfortable clothing and footwear.  For your safety, no sandals, flip-flops or high heels, please.

Looking forward to seeing you on the dance floor.

First brought to the United States in the 1860s, this version of dominoes is easy to learn and fun to play.  Whether it is "tapping your last" or "drawing from the boneyard" this time honored game is sure to be a "hoot" or shall we say, "Toot."  Come down to the Recreation Center and let's play!
