✨🍽️ **Girl, put down that spatula—DTs is hitting Longhorn Steakhouse!** 🥩💅 Who needs to cook when you can kiki over juicy steaks, fabulous sides, and fierce friends? After our glam Thursday Happy Hour, strut your stuff to **[Longhorn Steakhouse](https://www.longhornsteakhouse.com/locations/va/chantilly/chantilly/5222?cmpid=br:lh_ag:ie_ch:loc_ca:LHGMB_sn:gmb_gt:chantilly-va-5222_pl:locurl_rd:1175)** at **[14056 Thunderbolt Pl, Chantilly, VA 20151](https://maps.app.goo.gl/D5WNjEyTroVjJE1p7)**—our hottest dinner spot yet, with 23 queens and kings joining last time alone! 💖 **A gentle (but serious) note from your favorite event diva:** Please, darling, RSVP if you're planning to attend. The restaurant is amazing, but they're not magicians—and last-minute seat scrambles can leave you perched at the bar like leftovers. Let’s show our hosts (and each other!) a little love and respect. ✅ **Spill the tea (and RSVP!)** on our Facebook and Meetup pages, honey, because this dinner fills faster than a drag queen’s dressing room! Walk-ins are cute, but securing your seat is the real diva move. 💁‍♀️✨ 🌟 Keep your eyes peeled—every Thursday serves up something fresh, fabulous, and tasty with your DT family! 🍽️🌈

The Northern Virginia dancers invite you to join us on Thursday evenings from January 15 through February 26 to learn some of the basics of Scottish country dancing, which is the social dancing of Scotland. The cost is $50 for those who have not danced with us before. Because each week's lesson builds on the previous week's lesson, you'll learn best if you attend as many lessons as you can. You don't need a partner and you don't need to be Scottish! Wear comfortable clothes and soft-soled shoes. Please plan to arrive by 7:15 to sign in and get your shoes on. Consider coming to our Welcome Back evening on January 8 when we'll have an evening of easy social dancing. Note that if the Arlington County Public Schools are closed because of weather, our venue is also closed. We look forward to dancing with you.

Dulles Town Center Mall Hike: Meet at the entrance to the right of the Regal Movie Theater. A Test of Endurance Join us for a 6-mile trek through the treacherous terrain of Dulles Town Center mall.

Hazards Include: The intoxicating aroma of freshly baked Cinnabon, threatening to derail even the most disciplined of diets. Endless rows of high-end storefronts, beckoning you to indulge in some serious retail therapy. Balmy 70-degree temperatures, lulling you into a false sense of comfort. Blinding fluorescent lights, capable of disorienting even the most experienced navigator. Will You Emerge Victorious? Afterwards we'll head over to The Bungalow Lake house 46116 Lake Center Plaza, Sterling, VA 20165 for their delicious brunch cuisine.
