CAC dances:
1st/3rd Fridays are Salsa class with dance following.

$6/pp. 8:30 PM class; 9:30 PM Dance.
Children welcome as long as you keep an eye on them since the art studio is there. There is a cash bar, yes, children would be 'carded'. But they are welcome. That's great for us single parents - we get to learn to dance with our children and/or let them experience healthy ways that adults can have fun. You can buy food in the Rhythm Kitchen below and bring it up, or even bring your own food/drink (non-alcoholic) as well. Tables for groups can be reserved (so if you RSVP, we can reserve!) . Swing class has lots of room and seating I understand. Salsa pulls in a big crowd and it is standing room only if you miss the tables. Park across street or at meters on road in front. Phone: 674-6822. Come in under the silver sign, take elevator to 2R. DJ. Plays requests.
