Carpe Diem! 2nd Thursdays! Don't miss the chance to dance to live music & caller

If you can walk, you can do these dances.

No need for a partner or prior experience.

The caller tells you what to do.
Fabulous fun and great exercise too!

AND a great way to make new friends.

If you don't feel like dancing, you can enjoy the live music and festivities.

Find out what all the buzz is about and why HUNDREDS of people turn out every Friday and Sunday nights at the Glen Echo Spanish Ballroom for live music and contra-dancing. Its popularity is sweeping the nation--so we hope you will seize the day and catch the wave.

Join us on the 2nd Thursday of every month (Feb 13, March 13, April 10, etc.) in the beautiful Great Hall, our new Community Dance venue, and participate in the pleasure of dancing on the sprung wood floor--one of our Silver Spring Civic Building's greatest assets!
