First Dance will be an introduction into social dance for those with physical challenges.  We are gearing towards those who may not see themselves taking up the game of tennis or golf, scuba diving or kayaking, but they all remember social dance with a partner from their youth..  First Dance will get them out on the dance floor, with a partner for balance and stability and give them a social occasion as well.  Dance partners, spouses and friends are welcome to join with us and adults of all ages who are interested are urged to attend.  Refreshments and giveaways will be available and much fun will be had by all! As with the other First Clinics, there is NO CHARGE for First Dance, but pre-registration is necessary so that we are prepared.
