About us
We're folks who like to dance! We go to all sorts of dances, from ballroom to swing and to freestyle-express-yourself dances. Dancing is good for you, so jump in and join in the fun! It's just nice to get to know people who have the same interests! If you would like to add an event to the group, send me a message! (--Lindsey)
