[TSOM-Announce] Mill City - Dancing and Photos

Please Note:

Mill City Opera dancing ends at 10:20 pm

 

Originally the Mill City Opera folks had indicated that dancing would go until 11:00 pm after each performance. It has been communicated to me that dancing will now end by 10:20 pm. With the show ending around 9:40 pm that only 40 minutes of dancing. If you are there, they want everyone out by 10:25. Thanks for keeping this in mind.

 

The Opening Night party, of course, went much later and many folks stayed to dance - quite a number of new dancers!

On Sunday, very few folks stayed, perhaps only 1 or 2 non-TSoM folks danced. (…the difference between free drinks and a cash bar!) I just want to set everyone’s expectations about this.

 

Lesson

Good news about the lesson though, there were about 30 folks that took tango lesson before the performance and an additional 10 TSoM dancers. Wonderful! Thanks to you TSoM dancers for helping out.

Here is a link to photos from Opening Night – enjoy
