Waltz etcetera (lesson & dance)

A weekly dance since the beginning of 1999, Waltz etcetera is a beloved Seattle tradition. It's a welcoming, noncompetitive mixed social partner dance. More info: waltzetc.com.

We're in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of free parking. Please park courteously, not too close to anyone's driveway.

The venue has air conditioning and a lovely hardwood floor. Please bring soft-soled dance shoes that won't leave marks on the floor and change your shoes in the carpeted area near the entrance before walking on the dance floor. Please, no wet shoes or dripping raincoats/bumbershoots on or over our wood floor.

There's no water fountain, so you might want to bring a water bottle.
