This class will be a combined class with the intermediate class. In the past the intermediate class has been small immediately after the Ardbrae Ball. We have chosen four dances that should be new to most of the dancers. All of these dances are from the Beginner Ball and the March Social.<\/p>\n

There is a new formation for the beginner class – Set to and turn corners. See you tonight!<\/p>\n
