The Milwaukee Scottish Country Dancers (MkeSCD) with the UWM Celtic Studies program is offering a SOCIAL DANCE CLASS near the UWM Campus (in the gym of the Zao Church, across the street from the Union) on Thursday evenings 7-8:30PM. We typically dance in multiple groups of 6-8 people to lively fiddle, accordion, pipe, and piano music recorded by world class musicians, but on occasion we even have live music!
This class has the advantage of being on the UWM campus as well as on a bus line! Parking is available on the street, in the Union parking lot, or at the Zelazo Center parking lot. Class costs are solely for the facility rental and will be pay-what-you-can at each class (suggested $5 cash). Please share this event with everyone you know who might be interested!
You can resister here or just come!
