The day concludes with a Fundraiser Dance from 7:00-10:00pm $10/adults; $5/students; Kids 10 and under are free. We’ll have a short Zydeco lesson at 7:00, followed by open dancing with all our Ballroom, Latin, Country, and Swing Favorites – including the Shim Sham Challenge. All proceeds benefit dance and social art programs in local elementary schools.
DO THE SHIM SHAM CHALLENGE: It’s National Dance Day, and Granges are famous for dance events. The Shim Sham is a line dance created in the 1930’s by swing and tap dancers to create a party dance everyone could participate at the same time. Follow the link to learn the steps at home, or join us for a free class session at 6:30 on September 21st as part of Give it a Whirl! at the Grange. Then join us to dance it at the evening dance at 7:00pm for more dancing fun!

The Leedy Grange Hall was built in 1903, and acquired by Leedy Grange #339 in 1906. This historic building is located near the corner of NW Saltzman Road and NW Cornell Road, across from the Cedar Mill Library.
Our Grange hosts many activities throughout the year, including classes, meetings, afterschool programs, and discussion groups. For information on various classes and groups, please check our groups at the grange or check out our events page.
We also rent Leedy Grange Hall for community organizations’ events and other purposes. You can see a virtual tour of the hall on our rental FAQ page.
