This week we will be focusing on dances from the Welcome Dance<\/a><\/p>\n

Those attending the Ardbrae Ball<\/a> will be encouraged to join the intermediate class as they will be reviewing the easier dances on the ball. The cribs for the ball are available here<\/a><\/p>\n

We hope those not going to the ball can still come out to the Welcome Dance<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Here are two we plan to cover. We will likely get to others as well.<\/p>\n
