Line Dancing
Great fun and exercise at the same time. It is held at the Buxton Hall on Tuesdays at 1.30pm. With a regular turnout of around 20 people, it is a fun way to exercise and socialise at the same time.
Think you can’t dance? It doesn’t matter! Many of us can’t, you’ll still have fun.
Still not convinced? Come along and watch our amazing teachers Janet and Danny, who will have you toe tapping in no time.
$5 entry at the door and annual membership of $30. Tuesdays 1.30pm at the Buxton Hall - 2206 Maroondah Hwy, Buxton. No booking required. The commencement of Line Dancing was made possible with a grant from FRRR.
