Dance Punch Cards Available
​
2021-22 dance season punch cards will be available for purchase at our dances.  The cost is $40 for 6 dances and the card can be used by members and guests.  There is no expiration date for these punch cards.  No additional fee is needed for 5th  Friday, Special Caller or Multple Callers Dances.

Greeters & Kitchen Help Needed 

Please support our club by taking your turn to serve as greeter or kitchen helper this dance season.  Your assistance with these services makes a real difference in how our club is perceived by other dancers.  Help us make everyone feel welcome both on the dance floor and at break time!  Please do your share and sign up now.    

You can sign up at one of our dances or call our Vice-President, Vicki Lieske @ 360-488-6167.  If you're unable to keep the date you selected, please let Vicki know who your replacement will be.

No new lessons scheduled at this time.  Look for more information this summer.
​
Mystery Caravan

The  2022 Mystery Caravan has been cancelled and will be rescheduled in 2023 due to Covid complications.  However, a "Not So Mystery Caravan" has been scheduled for May 14th.  Click here for more information.

​Season Dance Passes Available 
​
The club is again offering a Season Dance Pass for all Dudes and Dolls only. The cost for the season pass is $120 and is for all  of our dances.  No additional fees are needed to cover the cost of a 5th Friday, special caller, or multiple callers dance.  The Season Dance Pass is only good for one dancer.  However, you can share your Season Dance Pass with your dance partner.  Your dance partner can use the Season Dance Pass if  they are attending but you are not attending the dance.  If both of you attend the dance, only one of you can use the pass while the other pays the dance donation (either $8, $9 or $10). Season Dance Passes are available for purchase at the sign-in table at most of our dances.

Volunteers Still Needed

Although we don't say it often enough, many thanks to those of you who keep our club running.  Your efforts do not go unnoticed and we really appreciate all that you do.

We will be looking for volunteers for the 2021-2022 positions.  Use the Contact Us form on our website or call and let our Secretary or President know you're interested.
