The Ballroom Dance Club’s monthly dance is held the 2nd Friday night of each month at 7 pm in Abravanel Hall. Doors open at 6:50. If you are willing to have a marvelous evening spinning around a dance floor, or just listening to fantastic music while chatting with friends, then come to a Ballroom Dance. Call Paul or Ana Yoshida (760)940-8871 and dance the night away with us.Our dance attendees are urged to come to the concierge desk at 3 PM on the day of the dance to obtain their seating. Table selections from two to ten seats are readily available. Pre-selecting your tables and seats lets you avoid being caught in the jam at the door and having to wait for those who did not come early and are trying to figure out their seating. Here are the dances your club has planned for 2012:Every Wednesday from 2:30 to 4:00 your Ballroom Dance Club provides dance lessons that are free to all OHCC residents. In addition, paid professional dance instructors are continuing their dance instructions every Monday afternoon starting at 4 PM. These are the same instructors that teach George and Miriam Mozes! The entrance fee into each of these lessons is $5 per club member, $5 for a club member’s escort, and $7 for all other resident, non-club member attendees. 2012 SCHEDULE OF CLASSES
