About the Winter 2024 USA Dances

Again this year the USA Dance - Madison Chapter is having two dances in both January and February. Besides our regular monthly dances slated for the third Saturday of each month, we have added a dance on the first Saturday of January and February to help us stay more active through these Wintery months.

The montly dance in March has been changed from the 3rd Saturday to the 4th Saturday due to a scheduling conflict with our DJ (note the dates to the right side of this page).

Then, for April we are adding a Spring Fling theme to the monthly dance. Come join the fun and if you wish, dress up in your formal attire.
