If you are interested in getting out to enjoy a night of Big Band music, than you might want to attend the Winter Dance Feb. 13.
The dance will take place from 6:30-9 p.m. at the Church of St. Joseph Parish Center’s Heritage Hall.
It will include a dance lesson at 6:30 p.m., followed by big band, swing, fox trot and jazz music played by the Jazz/Combo band from 7-9 p.m. There will also be dessert and coffee.
Organizer Nancy Ebel said this is a social event sponsored by the St. Joseph Parish.
“Our purpose in sponsoring this event is to provide a venue for live music and dancing,” Ebel said. “What could be more fun than dancing in the middle of a Minnesota winter?”
Dance instructors will be Steve and Nancy Streng from the St. Cloud Ballroom Dance Club. Attendees can learn a new dance, spend some time dancing, or just come and enjoy listening to the Big Band music.
This is the second year the event is being held. Last year about 150 people attended the dance event.
Cost of the event is $3 for adults or $5 for couples. Children are free.
