First Night in Williamsburg
Come join us for a Family Dance
*Please Note: Family Dance is shorthand for "lots of children &
beginners"
I think it's a hoot myself, but if you're looking for high-level dancing,
this isn't it.
But this is a great dance if you're at "loose ends" for New Years
Eve-
I often go by myself... no date required!
Join our Carpool from Southside
First Night tickets include multiple performances around Williamsburg.
Get tickets ahead of time for a discount.
