It may seem like a way off, but the dancing season will be upon us before we know it! Hurray!
This upcoming season, we've teamed up with the Merry Makers Dance Club, a local group in the East Valley. Otherwise, I think their title says it all. If you love dancing, then this might just be the club for you. Check out their website at www.dancemm.com.
It will be a lot of fun and I hope our usual dancing fans can come and join us at one of these events. These dances will all be held at Las Palmas Grande, which has a fantastic ballroom, both for dancing and even for just listening to music.
