Joe's return from Florida includes a trip to see his mother, so we did a bit more, going 20 minutes west to Balera, touted by my fellow dance teachers as the nicest ballroom in Boston.
The neighborhood is semi-residential, but the signs were clear.
Then there it was, a converted garage, and they kept the huge door that trucks used to drive in through, very useful when we wanted some fresh air.
Inside, a big beautiful floor, mirrors, a great sound system, and a huge crowd.
Everyone came for Robert Royston who teaches precisely and brings news of the latest trends in the West Coast Swing world. Neil Klein, whose regular space, a converted church, is right around the corner was DJ.
Friendly people, great music, good dancers - all I ask for.
And with West Coast, people can really use the space efficiently. Keep to your slot and nobody gets hurt.
The owners of the studio, competitors Basil Issaev & Liene Apele, run Friday dances, and their first anniversary of buying the business is coming up May 9 with a big party.
