Call us at (504) 453-7646. email grandpa.kjl@gmail.com or email usadancegumbo@gmail.com to be notified about future events.

We still badly need to have members volunteer to be on our board of directors, help run our dances and, if possible, work on community outreach for example. The Gumbo chapter cannot continue operating unless some of you who enjoy ballroom dancing contribute to the efforts necessary to make our USA Dance chapter relevant. So, please contact us if you would consider helping in any form, email address usadancegumbo@gmail.com.
