Mostly Waltz - A Vintage Sampler

On the first Friday of each month, LVD hosts a social dance, open to the public, with live music. Each event includes lots of waltzes, plus an occasional polka, schottische, tango, one-step, foxtrot, blues, or other favorite dance. There is instruction from 7:00 to 7:45 pm on a selected dance topic, then dancing from 8:00 to 10:00. The cost is $7 per person per event (students $4).

New location: Starting in October 2011, Mostly Waltz will be at Barbara Ann's School of Dance, 898 East High St., Lexington. The building is an old church at the corner of East High St. and Sunset Dr., where East High turns into Tates Creek Rd. [map]
