WEST MICHIGAN BALLROOM DANCE CALENDAR

 I'm sorry but no one is creating the dance calendar anymore. I wish I had time to do it, but I'm still working during the day and I just don't have the time right now. If anyone out there wants to take it over, I will be glad to post it on my website. Roger Brouwer is kind enough to send out some of the current dates that he has.  I will share those with you whenever I get them. They are as follows:
