No cover charge and free parking. Located on Street Road in Bensalem, Pa. Next week the guest teacher is Donna "Discoamerica" Boyle.

Dance show producer Marty Angelo continues to make a difference. The creator of the first TV show featuring the hustle, Disco Step by Step, Marty was recently interviewed about his best selling book.
