And you can carry a picnic and even dance a little on the sidewalk.

Terry  Harper and her Quartet are featured on  Thursday April 14.

Terry Harper has been performing as both a pianist and vocalist for over 25 years and has a smooth skilled group of musicians to entertain you.

The lesson is at 7pm. The band plays from 8pm until 11pm and there is some really good Louisiana food catered at the Knights of Columbus for these monthly dances.

Rosie Ledet and the Zydeco Playboys will keep you moving, there is a cash bar and lots of friendly people. Email shirley@comeoutdancing.com if you want to go. We save a little off the entry price if we can get a group of 5 dancers to go. More details on their website www.aczadance.org or mine on the calendar at www.comeoutdancing.com.

Dine and Dance in Decatur on Tuesday, March 3 and April 7

Dine and Dance in Decatur on Tuesday March 3 ( and Tuesday April 7)!

Sage on the Square is hosting a monthly evening of dinner and dancing on the First Tuesday of each month.

The restaurant is open from 5:30pm until 9:30pm and there will be room for dancing during the whole evening.

The menu is the same as usual with a nightly special offering from the chef and owner, Wayne Hamilton.

The music will be primarily big band standards – great for swing, lindy or foxtrot.

There will be a few Latin tunes as well.

Come out on Tuesday March 3 and help us bring back the joys of dining and dancing “Cheek to Cheek”.

To make a reservation ‘on the dance floor’ call (404) 378-2121 or email sageonthesquare@comcast.net.

On Mondays, at the studio in Decatur, beginners will learn to move to Latin music and enjoy dancing to the rhythms.

We start with a rumba or slow salsa tune to get the 3 count rhythm, then we move into some salsa basics and patterns that you can take to the dancefloor.

We end with a merengue and often a simple bachata – and you are ready to join us at Pura Vida Tapas on the third Friday each month: Feb 20 and March 20.

Shirley is teaching Mondays at 7pm at the Studio in Decatur. You can ‘drop in’ for $12 a class or $40 gets you the whole month of classes.
