5th Wheel at the Portneuf Brewery in Pocatello
There is a new band playing out that we can dance to called 5th Wheel. We had a great time dancing to them this past Saturday in the loft at Portneuf. All the dancers left tired and happy. We are lucky enough they are playing again this Saturday at CoHo in Pocatello from 7-10pm. Hope to see you on the dance floor!

Great Time at the Elks Lodge
This has been a very full week; dancing at the Cellar during the Eastern Idaho Jazz Society Jam Session, the new balboa class on Friday and on Saturday, the fundraiser at the Elks lodge with the Jazz House Big Band.
The lesson was packed with over 40 people and it was great to see a full dance floor this year. This is an event we'd like to have more often to be able to dance to a live big band on a large dance floor.
