7:30 pm: Performance Repertoire Preview Social

7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
June 2, 2025

Come and enjoy an evening of social dancing. The program just happens to be our new performance repertoire. You don't need to be planning to perform with the branch to come, but this is a great opportunity to get a sneak peek at the dances we'll be rehearsing starting in July.

Note that dances will be done in a different order than they appear in the repertoire and may be danced as originally written (not with special performance endings).
