Meeting Place offers dance classes

Published 6:11 pm Wednesday, July 25, 2012

Dancing is back at The Meeting Place.

Every Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m., Donna Donnelly and Joann Freeburg will lead “Let’s Move… Let’s Dance.” The class is for all levels of skill (or lack of skill, as the case may be) and for all kinds of dancing. You don’t have to register – just show up on Tuesday morning.

Donnelly said she has been teaching and playing with others her whole life. She taught line dance at the Meeting Place in the past and said she is looking forward to rekindling that relationship.

“We can all enjoy moving to the music and having a great time,” Donnelly said. “We might even do the hokey pokey.”

Freeburg is a new addition to The Meeting Place family.

Freeburg is an enthusiastic teacher and inspirational speaker who said she loves to “cut a rug,” whatever the style.

She began ballroom dancing 13 years ago and with her husband, Keith, has taught classes and given programs at various local venues.

Donnelly and Freeburg said the “Let’s Move… Let’s Dance” class is a fun and sometimes “a little crazy” class that includes a wide variety of dances.

The Meeting Place Senior Center is located on Skyuka Road in Columbus (in the old Carolina Classical School building). For more information, contact Pam Doty at the Meeting Place at 828-894-0001.
