Dance "Reel-Hearsals"

Monday, November 10th, 7-9pm

Friday Nov 14th, from 7 to 9pm

Saturday, Nov 15th, from 10am - noon

The "Reel-Hearsals" will be lively events and an opportunity to get to know your fellow Reelers.

Location: Ripley-Grier Studios - 520 Eighth Ave. (at 36th St.)
No partner necessary, beginners 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 45 years!

Ticket Sales end on Sunday, November 9th
