Take a class and get your groove on! The New Port Richey Public Library kicked off its summer programming in June with a series of ballroom dance lessons, providing locals with the chance to pick up some new rhythm and have a one-of-a-kind experience. Led by Rafe Banks, an avid ballroom dancer experienced members of the community Liz Kuhns and Mike Miller had nothing but positive reviews of the first class. With classes held weekly throughout the summer and being single or paired up for partner dances, anyone can join in on the fun and explore their potential love for a new form of dancing.
