Fingers crossed for some good weather.Β If it looks like rain, we will cancel this….This dance is free, but if you’d like to help fund this dance which costs around $300 to use, (see link below).Β Donations are appreciated but not required.Β This dance open to the public (anyone).
Swingin’ at Piers Park. With one of the best views of downtown, this East Boston park is a hidden jewel. We’ve danced here before and it’s really awesome. Since we’re right on the water, and it is the ocean, it can be a little windy and get a little chilly, so bring a jacket, dress in layers…
