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.
Santa Fe dance teacher David Lopez will teach a Viennese Waltz lesson at 2:15 p.m. Doug McClellan will DJ.
Admission is $5 for USA Dance members and $10 for others.

Barry Paur, a longtime USA Dance member and a friend to many of us, passed away a day shy of his 86th birthday on Jan. 22.
Barry’s memorial service will be 11 a.m. Monday, Feb. 5, at the Wyoming Chapel, 7171 Wyoming Blvd. NE, with a reception to follow.
