Scotch Ball:

Scotch Ball is making its grand return on Saturday, March 15 at the
beautiful St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral on 419 S Dithridge St from
8 p.m. to midnight! This year with a Bridgerton theme AND live music by the
Boilermaker Jazz band! Featuring a mini lesson, social dancing, catered
food, a diamond of the season award, photos, and more. Show up in your
formal attire and be prepared to have a regency era night at the ball!
Plus, you get free club lessons with the purchase of a ticket for Scotch
Ball for anyone who wants to learn how to dance beforehand!

Whether you're a member, alumnus, or friend, we invite you to join us for
an evening you won’t want to miss. Please also invite your friends, the
more the merrier! See you there!

We hope you are having a great time taking lessons with us! Your first two
