Please join us this Friday night as several local teachers and 'MANY' of our students take advantage of as much of the remaining dance time as possible. Some of us are meeting at the Tastee Diner in Bethesda at 5:00 to build up our energy beforehand. Hopefully you can join us, but if not there, try to at least join us 'Out On The Dance Floor' at 8pm at the Hollywood Ballroom, Silver Spring, Md!
