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.
