Intermediate Waltz Classes Start at the Sequim Prairie Grange Hall April 3rd

Location: 
Sequim Prairie Grange Hall
290 Macleay Rd
Sequim, WA 98382

From Derek and Pam:

Seems like we have had April showers since January. Luckily we dance inside so we can laugh at the weather.

In April we plan to teach Waltz in both the Beginning and Intermediate classes. This results from popular demand in a non scientific vote in March.

Waltz is a popular dance because it is played often, has beautiful music, and is relatively easy to learn. Visions of charming ladies with swirling dresses, dancing with handsome gentlemen.
