But they have other things or days, i think) It was an informal drop by at 7 for lessons or come at 8pm (and pay $3) -or just stay after the lesson at no extra cost for fun dance times. The two instructors were great. Pointed out tips and took each step one by one. Came with my fiance, but we rotated partners a lot because there were more leads than followers. I feel sorry for all the leads who had to come to me because I'm awfully uncoordinated and couldn't figure out how to triple step while turning and couldn't remember to rock step... But everyone, experienced and not experienced were super friendly and nice. Stayed in good spirits and just had fun. It was fun practicing what we just learned at 8pm and also watching the experienced dancers have fun and dance the night away.

There are different groups who meet most days of the week: There's Swing dancing on Mondays - here's the website for that www.santafeswing.com.; Folk Dancing on Tuesdays, Rueda on Fridays, Contra 2nd & 4th Saturdays, Folk & Israeli dancing on Sundays. Each of these events has instruction in the particular type of dancing.

Place signs around outdoor seating area notifying guests to place drink orders at the bar. 2. Designate at least one person to take orders at tables indoors. This should be easy to track based on who has menus and who doesn't. 3. Set up an online ordering system and place QR codes on tables for easy ordering. Give option to place orders at right or left side of bar. My aunt, mother and I were ignored multiple times by multiple staff after we asked at bar if we should order there and were told to take a seat and someone would be with us shortly. Two other tables that came in after us were served. I then had to go up to the bar to ask to pay as no one came by again even after all our drinks were empty for at least 10 minutes. Again multiple staff walked by us multiple times. Hard not to read into the reasons we were ignored specifically when several groups were being tended to.

Secreto was hands down our favorite spot for drinks in Santa Fe. Tucked inside a beautiful hotel,…read morethe bar has an atmosphere that's both elegant and relaxed. The massive mirror behind the bar makes you feel like you've stepped into a classic Western movie, adding to the unique charm of the space. Their signature Sage Margarita is a must-try. The bar is filled with the subtle aroma of burning sage, which creates a memorable experience before you even take your first sip. The cocktail itself was delicious and unlike anything I've had before. My personal favorite, however, was the Mezcal Paloma. Our bartender, TJ, crafted it to perfection. Watching him work was like watching a magician at his craft, every drink was made with skill, attention to detail, and genuine passion. Between the beautiful setting, creative cocktails, and exceptional service, Secreto is a place I would gladly return to on my next trip to Santa Fe.

I joined for a few months and then quit. I'm 36 years years old and realized that this club is…read morebuilt for octogenerians and actively alienates patrons who are less than 45 years old. My main complaints include the following: 1. One of the trainers approached me at the gym (an Italian woman with large glasses) and demanded that I put my phone away when I was changing a playlist on Spotify. I was neither talking nor texting. I brought this up with the membership director and I requested a follow-up after the trainer had been spoken to. I never received a follow-up. 2. The steam room is hazardous--the only way to turn it off is manually through the outside button. I brought this up as a huge hazard with the staff and they shrugged and said it 3. The towel drop is located inconveniently outside of the lockerroom because "there is no male staff available." There is also a sign that states that we are not allowed to put dirty towels on the ground. So basically, if one were to go to the steam room and use a towel, it's expected to get dressed again just to put the towel outside and then undress and go back to the shower and get a new towel. 4. The restaurant is only open a few hours a day. Most athletic clubs I've been to will usually have a cafe or some part of the restaurant open for gym-goers.

I don't cook stuffing that way but I know I'll find a creative use for it. Helpful and friendly staff. Great inventory nicely organized.

So far I've enjoyed being able to drop by and get involved right away, for example I was able to get questions answered right away like where to buy materials locally. Once I said I was interested in volunteering Cia and I started working on getting kilns of all kinds going after I mentioned that I may want to do kiln-fired glass (sometimes there's stuff I want to fire but glass place won't let me put in 'foreign material'). I also got contact info from a glass artist if I wanted to take a group class on how to do stained glass since I haven't learned that skill yet. I enjoyed the woodshop tutorial/re-fresher led by Christy Georg who was funny and engaging. Am impressed that not only do they have a planer, jointer and a nice safe Sawstop, but they also have a fancy 'Shaper Origin' tool and (in the metalshop) a Dynatorch Super B 8'x10' CNC Plasma Cutter?!? I can't even dream of what I would do with that thing... Same goes with if I needed to lasercut something that is 38" x 100"... which I don't need to do but yeah... I guess that's possible to do that there... Booking was really straight forward after becoming a member, I could've reserved a spot for the woodshop for a whole four hours right after signing up (Which is impressive considering that right now due to CoVID, the space is limited to 2 people working in that space.)
