Someone is downsizing and want to find a happy home for their dance floor.
It is hard wood and comes in 3 pieces that are 4 x 8 feet. Put together, the result is an 8 x 12 dance floor.
There is a 12 foot edge piece which make the transition easy. The dance floor was purchased it many years
ago from the company that provided the 4 x 4 squares to the Boston Celtics. The floor is located in my
basement on the north shore. It is a little dusty. It was used to teach tap dancing and practice swing dancing.

This is a repeat but it must be said..
If you run a dance business, you need to know one thing: This website is free advertisement for you. I don't make money off this website. I definitely don't get paid to put your information on this website.
As a result, it is up to you, the dance professional, to get your information to me so I can add it to the webpages. Send it to me in email. My inbox is my list of things to do and I don't remove things until I take care of it or it had expired. If I get a Facebook announcement, you can bet that it probably won't make it to this website. I usually get those FB announcements during the day while I'm working so I'm not going to work on my website during business hours By the time I get home, I probably won't even remember getting the alert so I'll never get back to it.
I used to get announcements about regular events from dance groups. When I asked one of the regional dance organizations to send me their listings so I could add them to the calendars, their representative told me that I was best off to get that information off their website. Guess whose events aren't listed on this website? Free advertisement and they were too lazy to send it to me.
If you're a dance venue and you're holding open public events again, please send email to me directly. I can't guarantee that I'll pay attention to newsletters and group mailings. And I definitely won't be looking at your social media for the information.
See you on the dance floor.
Regards,
Benson
