This Dance Calendar has been put together to provide information to persons who enjoy ballroom dancing.  If you know of additional dancing opportunities which you think would be of interest to fellow dancers, please let us know so that we can include the information in the next edition.

 We publish this Dance Calendar three times a year, and it is routinely distributed free of charge to attendees at both the Ballroom Dancers’ dances in Hudsonville (the September, January, and May dances) and the Candlelight Dance Club dances in Grand Rapids (October and February dances). 

 For those of you who wish us to mail you a copy instead, please send us a stamped, self-addressed envelope along with your request.  

 

IMPORTANT CHANGE; PLEASE READ  Thanks to the generosity of Jackie Middleton, friend and leader of “The Middleton Trio”, you can still access this Calendar on the Middleton Trio website:  http://www.middletontrio.com.   Jackie Middleton has also offered to respond to your requests for her to send you a copy electronically:  jackiedmiddleton@comcast.net.   Thank you, Jackie!

Note: Because the information contained in this calendar is collected in advance of the actual dance events, circumstances may change, and the dance may even be canceled. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to call ahead and confirm dates/times/etc.; all of the phone numbers are in the 616 area code, unless otherwise indicated. All of the dances listed are “open to the public”. Additional dancing opportunities are available in private membership organizations throughout the area, such as Moose, Elks, and Eagles Lodges as well as American Legion and VFW Posts.
