Every year we host a FREE Thanksgiving dance on, well, Thanksgiving! If you have enough energy to stand up or just need an excuse to leave the house, come out and see us!
We will not be holding any dance lessons. Dance will start at 8:00 and will end whenever everyone’s blood sugar starts to crash.
Hope to see you there!
(Progressive lessons will finish the final week on the following Thursday, Nov 30)
Celebrate Halloween at the Fed with the Sunny Side Six! They’ll be playing awesome vintage tunes with a few spooky ones mixed in 🎃 Buy tickets ahead of time here.
We encourage everyone to come in costume! There will be a costume contest with exciting prizes for the winners.
Finally, there will be a performance of the slightly spooky St. Louis Shim Sham! Anyone who knows this classic choreography is welcome to join in on the performance. If you want to learn it, Lindy Launchpad will be teaching it on Tuesdays this month.
See you all on October 26th for a scary good time!
