Dear Singles, I pray your New Year is off to a good start. Our last dance in November in Los Gatos had a strong turnout of around 150 people and was great fun.

I hope you can join us. Please see the details below. After that dance we have another on Saturday, March 29th in Los Gatos and another on Saturday, May 3rd at the Benicia Yacht Club.
