Enjoy Solo Showcase Routines at May Practice Parties!

Barbara and Mike

 

Throughout the month of May, our Thursday night Practice Parties feature a special twist.

Each week we are featuring two solo showcase routines — or three! — for your entertainment pleasure. The first two performances, an Argentine Tango by Sarah Davis and Lawrence and an American Tango by Dave Cremers and Mary, were a huge hit.

You are cordially invited to come out and support your dancing friends during the rest of our May Practice Parties — and don’t worry, there will still be plenty of opportunities for everyone else to enjoy an evening of dancing. Here is the schedule for the rest of our solo showcases:

May 16:

  • Barbara Pattelena — swing with Mike
  • Sarah Davis — Argentine Tango with Jason

May 23:

  • Glen Nicolet — Viennese Waltz with Mary
  • Caroline Townsley — Hustle with Mike
