The Northeast MS Chapter #6125 of USA Dance held its get acquainted party at the Event Hall of New Albany. About 25 people were present. The event included a 30-minute “mini-lesson” and 90 minutes of general dancing.

According to information distributed at the event, “USA Dance is not a social club, but rather a broad-based national organization serving as a catalyst to establish a great variety of dance related programs and encourage more people to become involved and enjoy the many benefits of dancing — fun- fitness and social interaction.”
