"I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...Dance.
I hope you dance."
-Lee Ann Womack

Where to Find Us

It is never too late to break into the learning and practice sessions and ask "Shall we dance?" The emphasis is on acquiring and maintaining a comfort level, and everyone goes at their own pace. Ballroom dance is great exercise, and it helps develop coordination and physical fitness.

The sessions are for First Parish members, friends, and their guests. All are welcome, including first-timers, singles, and couples. You do not have to bring a dance partner. Help is provided on steps for beginning leaders and followers. Music is varied during the evening to meet the needs of dancers with varying levels of experience.

RSVP by new participants is helpful for planning purposes, but it is not required. In addition, people who can only make part of a session are welcome to attend.

Meets the last Friday of each month at 6:30 PM in Parish Hall. For more information, please email Lee Ostrander.
