Monday Dec 14, 2020:

Good morning,
Let's dance tonight at City Skate Center, 63 N Walnut St, Painesville (behind the Papa John's). Remember the schedule, 6-6:30 is intermediate lessons, 6:30-7 is beginner. 7-9 is open dance with a ton of 1 wall reviews.
Cost is just $5, with all proceeds going to the rink for letting us use their beautiful floor. I am doing this for my need to dance.


Remember:
MASKS MUST BE WORN WHEN NOT DANCING...including when entering the build.
There is plenty of room to social distance on the dance floor and in the seating area. Come on out and dance.
