Dixie Hwy.  That's a couple of miles east of the Florida Turnpike's Eureka Drive (SW 184th Street) exit.   It starts at 7:30 p.m. for beginners, 8 p.m. for experienced dancers.  Suggested donation $10 or, for students, $5. Bring a snack to share. There's ample off-street parking -- but car pooling is a swell idea.  If you have questions, call Liz at 786-242-0766 or write John Hopkins
