The Twilight Dance Series Will Pay Tribute to The La Monica Ballroom In Celebration Of The Santa Monica Pier’s Centennial Anniversary.

The dance celebration will feature alumni who had actually danced in the La Monica Ballroom and expert dance instructors that will provide free lessons to anyone who wants to experience what La Monica was in its heyday.
