All are welcome; you do not need to come with a partner. It is suggested that you wear low-heeled, hard-soled shoes. (Please note: because they rent a room in a synagogue, there are certain Wednesdays they do not meet, such as, this year, April 16 and 23 because of the Jewish Passover holiday, when the room is in use.)
