Local Night Clubs

One of my students sent me the following email I wanted to share with you:
The Double Tree has a country night on Friday nights.   Not a lot of people, so plenty of room on their dance floor  to do patterns. 
50% of the songs are medium to fast 2 Steps and the other 50% are good for West Coast
Swing.   $5.00 dollar cover after 9:00 pm.  

Local dancers have been gathering at the Holiday Inn Select on Tuesday and Friday nights (no cover charge),
and the Crystal Palace on Saturday nights.
Be sure to show up after 9:00 on Saturday nights to avoid a cover charge at the Crystal Palace.
It's crowded, but Stampede is a terrific band and plays requests, and you know you'll find other dancers there.

Holiday Inn Select

Please note this info is given to me by other people so be sure to call the clubs to verify first.
Also, nothing usually starts happening anywhere until after 9:00 p.m.
