Those of you who want to learn how to dance can sign up for inexpensive lessons at Livermore Community Center, Dublin Senior Center, San Ramon Community Center, and Two Left Feet located in Danville. We may be getting up there in our years but we can still move around a dance floor and its great exercise as well.
