It's wonderful to see new faces on the dance floor and to watch friendships grow through a shared love of music and dancing. At the same time, we are truly grateful to our returning members whose continued loyalty and involvement helped keep the Let's Dance Club strong and thriving. The Let's Dance Club is all about great music and a fun social atmosphere.
