Good things to do in Scotts Valley

EDITOR,
Let’s begin the new year with something less controversial: There are many good things to do in our community.
Some come to mind as I begin the year. After a hard day of work, many look forward to a relaxing evening, a meal and a short stop in front of the TV. But life exists beyond the screen.
As a dance instructor, I’ve heard from many students how they enjoy dancing after a day of work. “Refreshing” and “stimulating” are some of the comments. Scotts Valley Recreation has several classes in the evenings for all sorts of activities. Shuffles Dance Studio and the Skylight Ballroom offer classes in several types of dance.
Let’s not forget terrific places like Mint, a delightful place for snacks, refreshments and good conversation, wonderful atmosphere and service. It reminds me a bit of what pubs are like in the U.K.
Whether dancing or chatting (real conversation, not via cell phones or texting), Scotts Valley has lots of good things to do. Converse, not collapse. Shake those tail feathers. Cheers!
