Waltz Parties
Join us once a month as we dance waltzes and other social dances in a beautiful setting. Click here for the Waltz Party schedule. Each evening consists of a one-hour workshop followed by two hours of dancing to live music. About 2/3 of the dances are waltzes, with the others being a mix of polka, tango, schottisch, hambo or ragtime. For $10, you can enjoy a workshop, two hours of live music, and refreshments. No partner or experience is necessary. Please wear or bring soft soled shoes.
The dances are held at the Monday Club, 37 S. Maple, in Webster Groves. Here's a map.
6-7pm Attend a Workshop
Each month we offer a workshop focusing on one of these dance styles: waltz, polka, tango, schottisch, hambo or ragtime. See below for the workshop schedule.
7-9pm Dance to the music of the Halcyon Light Orchestra
The Halcyon Light Orchestra consists of seven players: Kristin Graham on keyboard, Mike Brown on bass, Paul Stamler on guitar, Martha Edwards and Ben Schreiber on violin, Paul Wexler on clarinet and recorder, and Paul Ovaitt on mandolin.
