tricks music & dance-wise........we know that we can always find lots and
lots of choices for our dance shoes. Time to get out your dance calendar and
dance shoes......fill up your dance card.....something for everyone

top of my head, there is the Tinner Hill, Silver
Spring, Columbia Pike, Western Maryland, Chesapeak,
Colonial Beach, DCBlues Society, Alonzo's
Picnic.....any many more.
PS- Suggestion: if you are unsure if a venue will be open, or if
