NEW, EXCITING, AND DEEP-DISH!!

NIH cannot live by dance alone, especially at lunch time.  Therefore, beginning April *7, and every first Tuesday of the month thereafter, the Tuesday Lunch Time Line Dance Class (see below) will take a 15-minute break (at 12:30pm) to enjoy a leisurely lunch of pizza and soda.  If you attended class at least three times the previous month, lunch is on the house.  For all others, pizza is $1/slice and soda is 50 cents a can.  After you have eaten, deposit your payment in the cash box at the front of the room.

Every week we hold a free drawing in which one lucky person wins his or her choice of one of the hottest country albums in the nation. In addition, everyone is welcome to borrow up to three albums at a time for up to 3 weeks at a time from the Club's library of recent and classic CD's and cassettes.

If you have learned a new dance that you would like to teach the class, see Dennis. The Club thanks guest instructors with a free CD or cassette for each dance that they teach.
