LEWISTON – The United State Amateur Ballroom Dancers Association wants to establish a chapter especially for “beginner” social or recreational ballroom dancers in the Augusta/Waterville/Lewiston area.

If enough interest is expressed a local steering committee will be formed to guide the project and enroll members. A special welcome will be extended to beginner dancers; and arrangements will be made to make “low-cost” weekly dance lessons available. Membership will be open to singles as well as couples. Beginners of all ages will be welcome.

Local chapters sponsor monthly social dances for members and the public. Typically, each dance consists of a free one-hour dance lesson, followed by three hours of general dancing training in local colleges and high schools.

Anyone interested should

call 1-800-447-9047; send an e-mail to [email protected]; or write to USABDA, P.O. Box 128, New Freedom, Pa., 17349. Include name, phone number and mailing address.
