The Venue

We held a Sunday dance in our new venue, The Kingsley Association. We are so happy to have found this spacious venue where we have so much more room to welcome all of our friends for Fall Dance Weekend. The acoustics were great. Great HVAC, too, to keep us comfortable. We are still located in the heart of the city
