WEEKEND: Ballroom dancing offered Sunday in Sequim

SEQUIM — An afternoon tea dance — for fans of foxtrot, waltz, swing and other ballroom styles — is open to everyone at The Fifth Avenue retirement center, 500 W. Hendrickson Road, on Sunday.

The Cat’s Meow, a band specializing in jazz and pop standards from the 1900s forward — from “Satin Doll” to “Proud Mary,” “Sugar Blues” to “Chattanooga Choo Choo” — will play for listeners and dancers from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.

Admission is $5 for the tea dance, now held every first Sunday of the month at The Fifth Avenue.

This band, formerly known as Wally’s Boys, features Joey Lazzaro on trumpet, John Zuerner on saxophone, Trevor Hanson on guitar, Jim Rosand on keyboards, Ray Nason on bass and Jack Smith on drums.

The players are well-known for their gigs at the Port Angeles Senior & Community Center, 328 E. Seventh St., where they fill the dance floor from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. every Tuesday. Admission is $5 there, too, except for first-timers, who get in free.

For information about these weekly dances at the Port Angeles center, phone 360-457-7004.

For more details about the first-Sunday tea dance in Sequim, phone 360-683-3345.
