We have made some changes for this years Spring Fling! The tickets will only cost $20/person. (We will not have dinner included at the event, to make it more affordable.) Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, April 25th, at 5:30 P.M. The Heat Sheets will also be available, so you can sign up for Heats after you buy your ticket! (Heat sheets will be available to teachers during the preceding week.)  We plan to start earlier in the day, so you will have time to eat afterwards. The Spring Fling will be held on Sunday, May 17th!

The Ballroom Basics Session starting May 2nd is filling up, and we have room for 10 more people.  
           
The weather has been crazy lately. Our bad weather policy is to have the doors open. The reason for this is because it is so hard to get the word out, and some people travel long distances to get here. While we would not encourage anyone to drive in bad weather, some dancers will make the trip no matter how bad the weather becomes. We do not want them to arrive to find the door locked. If the teacher is unable to get here, or the number is too small to hold a class, we will at least have open dancing.
