Paws and Taws members and friends –

 

Patty Greene will be at Paws and Taws this Friday, March 21!  Third Friday, so no rounds or lines, and short breaks to maximize time on the floor with an outstanding caller!  Workshop 7:00pm, Mainstream 7:30-8:30pm, Plus 8:30-9:30pm.

 

Paws and Taws appreciates all the visitors at our recent dances, especially last Friday when a number of out-of-town members meant more guests than members in the three squares on the floor.

Upcoming Paws and Taws dances:

  • Friday, March 21 – 3rd Friday dance with Patty Greene calling.  No lines or rounds.
