| Weather Alert! | Always
check this website to be sure events have not been changed due to the
weather (or any other reason). The weather can change drastically in
a very short period of time and notification of schedule changes is very
difficult. We recently had a water main break in town that closed
our club due to the lack of water, so sometimes it is more than just the
weather! We utilize this site to convey information on schedule
changes, SO CHECK HERE FIRST before driving out to the club. Save

| PLDC Rules |
Prairie Land 'Rules of the Road' Dance Floor Etiquette
- Even a 4,000 sq ft dance floor gets full when
several styles of dance are going on at the same time, so we follow Dance Floor
Etiquette at Prairie Land. Line dancers and other stationary dance styles
are to be in the center of the floor leaving room for couples to dance by, flow
dances are around the inner circle and lead & follow styles are around the
outer circle. There's plenty of room for everyone when we keep these
guidelines in mind at all times. Thanks for your cooperation! |
