ANNOUNCEMENTS:
 
 
Shakopee Ballroom hosted  their last ballroom dance last Friday night, until 
New Year's Eve.  Word  is: their bands are playing at too many other locations 
now, so people aren't  driving to Shakopee enough.  Their New Year's Eve 
ballroom dance band and  menu will be announced soon.
Rebels West Coast Swing  Dance Club will be moving to the Social Dance Studio 
as of the Masquerade Ball  on Oct. 18th.  Dances will then be on regular 
schedule- the 1st & 3rd  Sundays of every month starting Nov. 2nd.  Admission will 
go up to $7 for  members, $11 for nonmembers.  There will no longer be a free 
dance lesson  before the dances.  There will be paid lessons available 
Sundays at 5:30pm,  also held at Social Dance Studio but taught by Rebels 
instructors.  The  first official Sunday dance held at Social Dance Studio on Nov. 2nd 
will be free  to everyone. 
Thursday (tomorrow),  Woodbury Bulletin newspaper is coming out to our 12noon 
Tango lesson (at  Tropical Ballroom in Woodbury) to take pictures, then do an 
 interview.  Dress for photos if you're in that class!
