(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.
