The next dance is December 10

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

3-5 PM

Looking ahead: There will be only one LECD dance in December, 12/10.  The 4th and 5th Sundays are Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve so we will not dance those days.

------------------------------

If you are confident (to the extent that you can be confident) that you will not be spreading (covid, flu, a cold) then you are welcome to join us. Some of us take the added protection of wearing a mask while dancing and that is encouraged.

-------------

I am told that not everybody checks their e-mail these days. If you wish to be notified about Louisville ECD activities using another medium, let me know ... well, this is awkward ... let me know via e-mail what alternative vehicle to use to contact you.

Once a year we have a special dance with Keltricity playing. Deborah Denenfeld is calling this dance.

At the Jane Austen Festival Grand Ball back when it was held at Spalding University. Don Corson is calling, Keltricity is playing, and Kathy (in blue) is waiting for her turn to get into the thick of a dance.
