Air Conditioning! We’ll still sweat, but we’ll have to work at it.
Live Music! A first for QC SoDa, and man can those kids play!
DJ Amy! Playing during the band breaks and afterwards all your favorites.
Lesson Discounts! Pop a ballroom balloon and get a discount.
The party will start at 6:00 and will run until 10:00. Come get in from the heat a little bit and help us make this the best summer dance yet!
