COSTUMES? ONLY IF YOU WISH!
At this event, many folks will dress in their favorite celestial finery. Costumes add to the fun of the day, but there are always friends in modern casual dress. We subscribe to the popular phrase, “Costumes admired but not required.”

IMPORTANT COSTUME NOTE:
If you choose to wear a costume please be certain you can move easily in your costume and do not wear anything that would impede you, or others, while dancing. Please note dresses that trail on the floor are not allowed as they impede dancing for all. High heels are not recommended for this style dance in general.

Whether you are brand new or LOVE this style of dancing, Tuesday nights in Pasadena is where you learn the skills to dance with elegance and ease! It’s a great mid-week pick-me-up with dance friends old and new.
Plan on sticking around for after-hours socializing and getting the latest details on a favorite dance, the next ball, or that costume question you always wanted to ask.

P.S. If our dates and links haven’t updated yet, just email us for the link. We are a group of volunteers and don’t always remember what we’ve forgotten about. We dance (almost) EVERY 2nd, 4th, and 5th Tuesday!
