Help us bling in the New Year at our next dance, 3 – 5 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 4 — and help make Rosie Harper’s resolution come true:

“My dream for the new year is to see more people happily dancing, and fewer people unhappily sitting. Our board is working on ideas to that end,” said Rosie, president of our chapter’s board. “Meanwhile, let’s make this our motto for 2026: Focus on the good and praise it. Let‘s bling in the New Year with happy feet on the dance floor, and happy smiles on our faces!”

It’s our last dance of the year, so help us send 2025 off in style!

Our dance is 3 – 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 21. Our venue is the Albuquerque Square Dance Center, 4915 Hawkins St. NE.

Come early for our Back to Basics assisted practice session at 1:30 p.m., led by Debra Williams.
