Ripley-Grier Studios
520 Eighth Ave. (at 36th St.)

⁠$10 in cash per session (complimentary for our VIP & Patron ticket holders)
No partner necessary, and beginners are welcome.

At least two practices are mandatory for beginners. The more familiar you are with the dances, the more you will enjoy them, and that is the aim and success of the ball — fun! — not necessarily perfect footwork. We have been reeling, stomping, hooting, and howling with laughter together for over 40 years!

Please purchase your tickets no later than Tuesday, November 5.
