We are coming out of a long period of dormancy and picking up activities again. Dance classes have been taking place since the fall but no sessions until recently.
We are holding a General Meeting on Friday 4 March in Eirelux from 19h00 to restore the committee, discuss activities and membership. Volunteers are welcome to join the committee, especially representatives of the dancers. If you have suggestions or proposals but are unable to attend, feel free to mail us.
We have sessions in Eirelux on the First Friday of each month so the General Meeting will be followed by a session in the bar.
