Instructor-led sessions are held at the Legion, located at 72 Peace Street, on Monday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. These classes are open to both new and experienced dancers and feature a fun mix of country favourites and Top 40 hits.

The first session is scheduled for January 20th, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., with another session on Tuesday, January 27th, at the same time and location.
