It’s that time of year again! Healthy Huntsville and Huntsville Parks & Recreation invite the community to come out for Dancing for Diversity on Friday, Sept. 17, from 5:30-8:30 p.m., at S.R. Butler Green at Campus No. 805.
The outdoor, socially distanced event is a Healthy Huntsville initiative that promotes health and diversity through the art of dance. During the annual event, different instructors and groups will lead participants of all ages and abilities in a variety of dances.
