This is to announce that there will be dance practices on some upcoming Sundays in April and May and continuing throughout the summer. Dancers of all skill levels are encouraged
to join us for practice. If you are a veteran or have never danced before we invite you to come out and get some exercise.
Dance teachers from both Bridge and Smoking Rocks will be on hand to go over some old favorites as well as to teach some lesser known dances.
The next practice will be Sunday April 13 at 4:00 p.m. in Rehoboth, followed at 6 p.m. by a free potluck and dance sponsored by the Jammers. During the dance we will be doing some of our dances to live music, as well as some contra and other dance. All dances are taught.
Sunday, May 4 the practice will be at Bywater and will begin at 2:00 p.m.
If you would like to car pool to the practices, contact me for details.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring some water to drink.
