      Note: Walter's is located at 5023 Minnesota Avenue , Kansas City , KS 66102 (51st and State Avenue, behind Blockbuster's). Walter's is on the south side of State Avenue , just west of the Indian Springs shopping center, barely over the top of the hill.  The Minnesota address .  Take State west from I-635 up the hill and just barely past the crest of the hill.  On the left (south) side of the road is a small section of road ( Minnesota ) which looks more like a driveway than a road.  It leads right to a house with a commercial building attached (somewhat behind Blockbuster's). That is Walter's.  Once inside you will find a nice living-room like front room with a ballroom attached.  The dance floor seems large enough for a basketball court and is one of the very nicest ballroom floors in the area.  There are no lessons on Saturday night.  Just nice ballroom dancing with good company - usually ballroom students and other dance club members, but this dancing is open attendance.
