Sunday, July 26, 4pm to 6:30 pm, Tea Dance – Dance Eclectic in Sellwood
Dancing with Joy Studios – 8051 SE 16th Ave,
Dance: $10 To $15 Sliding Scale. No one turned away (No Lesson)
We’re excited to add a new event to our monthly Dance Eclectic schedule — a Sunday afternoon Tea Dance at Dancing with Joy Studios in the heart of Sellwood.This time slot (4–6:30 PM) gives you the best of both worlds: a chance to arrive at a dance in the light of day, head home at a reasonable hour, and start the new week refreshed. Sellwood’s cozy, village-like atmosphere also makes it easy to grab a bite before or after, making this more than just a dance — it’s a full experience.
We’ll be flowing in right after an Argentine Tango práctica in the same space, so you may notice a tango-tinged energy in the air as we begin. Expect the usual Eclectic mix you love—waltz, blues, swing, world, soulful surprises—plus a few especially “tango-friendly” tracks. Come for your favorite styles, stay for the unexpected ones, and as always: dance what you know and feel, and help us make the room welcoming for newcomers and cross-over dancers alike.

Since we had to change our newsletter sender address, our open rate has dropped by about 50%—mostly because many emails are being routed to Junk/Spam. The fastest way to fix this is simple: if you find our newsletter in your Junk/Spam folder, please move it to your inbox and mark it “Not Spam.”
As more people do this, email providers will start placing the newsletter back in inboxes and our open rates should return to normal. Even if you are currently receiving the newsletter, please take a moment to check your Junk/Spam folder (especially if you’ve used a different email address in the past)
