Ar-Dale Dancers

November 8, 2015 –  It was another beautiful Sunday afternoon for our November dance.  Lanny Weaklend called our ‘Big Band Blast’ dance and Ken and Barb LaBau cued rounds.  Lanny had some great ‘Big Band’ tunes that he played and sang to!  Royalty in attendance was our own Bonnie Eidman.  Other celebrities in attendance were SDM Vice Chair Don Hanson and SDM Education Director Bob Meyer.  We had 5 squares from 11 clubs in attendance.  Lessons continue to go well with lots of laughs, as several of our women are learning the man’s part.  Our students are a great group and are having as much fun as we are.
