We ask that you refrain from wearing perfume or anything with a heavy scent in consideration of other dancers.

Please note that there is a break halfway through each monthly dance.  Everyone is welcome to participate in the snack table by either hosting or contributing a snack to be shared.  To "host" the snack table, please speak with Brian Miller, DECD Treasurer.  A snack table host will set up before and clean up after the dance and may set a "theme" for the table, such as hearts/red for a February dance.
