Remember: March 13th All Classes are Canceled-Come to LIndyfest Instead!

As we will all be at Lindyfest working with great instructors to improve our dancing, all levels of classes AND the Sunday night dance on March 13th are canceled. Don't fret, you can still dance with us all weekend long at the Sheraton Brookhollow. If you've paid for the month at HSDS, the Sunday night dance is Free! All other dances can be paid for individually (on the night of the dance) or you can purchase an all dance pass for $85.

We'll be back to our normal schedule the rest of the month, but our dancing will be anything but normal! Watch out as our dancers improve leaps and bounds over the Lindyfest weekend!
