Join us for our Big Band Dance Friday May 2. We will be dancing to live music from the El Riad Shrine Big Band on the spacious hardwood-floored ballroom of the El Riad Shrine in downtown Sioux Falls. The 17-piece Shrine Big Band will be playing music complementary to swing, ballroom, two step, and Latin dancing styles for a great dance experience. The evening begins at 6:45 with a beginner’s dance lesson, free with admission to the dance, taught by instructor Lisa Myhre. The dance begins at 7:30. There will be opportunities for instruction in other partnered dances throughout the evening. During band breaks, we will have popular line dances such as the Electric Slide, Shivers, and Fireball. We suggest dressing in comfortable business casual attire, a dressed up formal style, or your favorite spring-inspired clothing. There is ample free parking on the street and in the large lot on the east side of the El Riad. Admission is $15 per person; or for students with a school ID, $7.
