Footnotes Established 1983 April 2013 Indianapolis, IN President s Corner March was certainly a party month for Indy Dancers!! First, we celebrated St. Patrick s Day by learning a few Irish dance steps and watching real Irish dancers. It was so much fun!! However, our 30 th Anniversary dance was the party of all parties!! The IUPUI Swing Cats (See their note below.), Harriett Fishburn and her group, Roger and Amy, and Scott and Yulia stole the show with their spotlight dances. And with the fabulous dance music put together by four of our DJs, everyone stayed on the dance floor until the very last dance. It was so much fun and a night to remember!! Make sure you catch the pictures in the newsletter and see many more at www.indydancers.com! I also want to thank the following dance clubs that came to help us celebrate: Camelot Dance Club Dance Factor Friends of the Anderson Paramount Theater Continental Dance Club Heartland Ballroom Dancers Irvington Dance Club But that s not the end of our partying!
