And the Oscars went to … everyone who came to a recent USA Dance in Albuquerque dressed as a movie star or film character!
We rolled out a real red carpet (OK, a tiny one) for its March 2 dance, Academy Awards day. Dancers transformed themselves into current and historical actors and characters that rivaled anything happening at the real Academy Awards. Our stars even took home their own, six-inch-tall Oscars.

Thanks to all of the Shiny, Happy People who blinged it up at our first dance of 2025.

Partner dancing is tons of fun — and it’s great for physical and mental health! But it can also lead to injuries if dancers ignore basic precautions.
We’d like to remind our USA Dancers of a few rules and best practices that will keep us all safe without diminishing our fun.
Please join us at the next USA Dance social dance party: 3 – 5 p.m. this Sunday, June 2, at the Albuquerque Square Dance Center, 4915 Hawkins St. NE.
