Someone very important is missing at dance nights in High Springs. You.
Modern Square Dance is a fun way to get a little exercise for your mind and body, and socialize, too.
New to dance? Do not think you can dance or do not think you like to dance? We have all been there.
Show up on Thursday night with willingness to give it a whirl. Steps are instructed one at a time and then sequenced together by the caller for an interactive dance experience. Dances include lively, upbeat music and a laser light show.
Just kidding about the laser light show, but the music gets you on your feet.
Simple line dances are also instructed weekly.
Thank you High Springs Parks and Recreation for your support.
