If it's your first time joining us -- first of all, welcome! -- and if you can, arrive between 7-7:30 so as not to miss any of the lesson or dancing!
Bring a water bottle (we have a jug for refills but no cups) and clean, soft-soled indoor shoes to protect our floor.
HELP IS NEEDED for our dances to run smoothly! Volunteers are needed for set-up, the check-in process (waivers/payment) and clean-up. Visit https://volunteer.patmad.org.
Please write to [email protected] if you have any questions.
We are looking forward to dancing with you!
