DANCE | Red Hot Holiday Ball 

Much like Brandon Walsh from "Beverly Hills 90210," I'm not much of a dancer. Give me five beers and a My Morning Jacket concert and I'll get down like there's no tomorrow, but aside from that I'm pretty awkward when it comes to dancing. There's a part of me that's always wanted to learn, though.

If you feel the same, there's a golden opportunity to learn and then use your newly acquired skills this Friday, December 6, at Groove Juice Swing's 7th Annual Red Hot Holiday Ball. The ball runs 7-11 p.m., with a beginner's lesson at 7 p.m., so you don't have to be an expert in swing dance to attend. There's also going to be a plethora of cool prizes to try and win. The best part? Free admission and free refreshments.

The ball takes place at Visual Studies Workshop, 31 Prince St. Check out groovejuiceswing.com for more details.
