Bring a Hanukah Menorah and snacks to share if you like. We will be in the small dance studio in the back. Sometime between now and January 24 we will switch to Tuesday nights starting at 7:30 pm.

Also today, Monday December 26, English Country Dancing will also be at 308 West at the same time, but in the big room.

Come out Friday night for a pre-New Years Eve party at 308 West, starting with a Zydeco lesson and then a mix of social dancing including swing, waltz and more.

Celebrate New Years Eve with a day of dancing starting at 4 pm with a Contra Dance at the Martin Luther King Center, then an interlude at the United Church of Gainesville with Dances of Universal Peace at 7 pm and back to the Contra Dance at MLK Center or to the Boltin Center with Swing and Sway to bring in the new year.
