The dance will be held at St. John's Lutheran Church in Algonquin, Illinois. It is a benefit for Butter the Comfort Dog. Butter is a beautiful Golden Retriever K-9 Comfort Dog. She has been extensively trained to be calm, tolerant and friendly when "at work". She has visited local schools, churches, retirement homes, shut-ins, fairs and festivals. Butter has been certified to work at Good Shepherd and Sherman Hospitals. Funds raised at this event will be used to repay Butter's cost.

Doors open at 7:00 pm.

The dance will be held from 7:30 pm to 11:00 pm with a free Waltz lesson at 7:30 pm from Professional Dance Instructors Frank and Jackie Penze. Open dancing will start at 8:00 pm and continue until 11:00 pm with ballroom, Latin & swing music provided by DJ "Dr. Rod". 

We will have free cake, coffee, prizes and surprises. The usual dress code is dressy casual, no jeans or gym shoes. However, if you wear Mardi Gras attire you could win a prize.
