Hey, it's time for "May showers" to bring, uh, "June flowers"? (checking notes) ... no, that doesn't sound right...

Well, either way, May should be bringing some *great* dancing, starting off with the 2nd Saturday, May 9, when we are excited to have Martin Smith back, this time teaching a Tango lesson! Then we'll have some excellent dance music, thanks to DJ Alan Hedgpeth. And the fantastic dance floor at the Newport News/Hampton Moose Lodge (#1119) guarantees that the dance will be... fantastic, or maybe even whatever is better than that!

And May might have the shortest month name, but it's got some of the most great dancing of the year, with a 5th Saturday coming up, just 3 weeks later (May 30), which means... a crazy 5th Saturday dance! (And this one will be even crazier than usual. Spoiler alert.)
