Our fabulous FALL TEA DANCE was held at the end of October
There were some wonderfully creative costumes fitting the Halloween theme many of which related to the particular dances we were doing. Our newer dancers participated in many of the dances and really enjoyed themselves. Mary Ross' live music was excellent. A good time was had by all.
