Peninsula College hosts senior citizens dance

Peninsula College students hosts Olympic Peninsula senior citizens Tuesday night, May 15, for the 21st annual Peninsula College Senior Dance.

Dancing begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Pirate Union Building, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd., to the sound of the band Cat’s Meow. Admission is free and light refreshments will be served at the 8:30 p.m. intermission.

The event dates back to Associated Student Council President Glenn Gilliam’s team in 1997, said Rick Ross, Associate Dean for Athletics and Student Life.

“It’s a great opportunity for young people to learn some ballroom dance steps from the pros,” Ross said, “and also for our community seniors to step out on the dance floor with college students.”

The event replaces the weekly Tuesday evening dance event at the Port Angeles Senior Center.

This year, the PASC will send two dancers to the PUB at 6:30 p.m. to teach basic dance steps to any college students who wish to learn.
