The Much-Belated Monthly Calendar For What's Left Of December

Hey dancers!  I apologize that this is so late in coming, but it was hard to find time to sit down and make this list.  I blame the fact that it's officially the holiday season, and that I have a very distracting cat that I must either play with, or rescue from her own silly acts.

Yep, that's right, I had to help her down from there.

So anyway, I have finally gotten around to listing the dance events for what's left of this month.  For now, I only have the dances in Connecticut.  The dance events that are out of state I'm still working on, I might have them ready by next month.
