    class, per visit, with discounts available to families and enrolled students.  If
    you haven't tried hula yet, come down and visit us at Riolo Dance Studio on
    Saturday mornings!  Your first class is free, so try it out on us with no
    obligation.  If you'd like to continue, just pay by the class or enroll as a regular

    fees and directions to the studio.

    Ra. The Men's Polynesian Dance and Drumming class, also at 8:00 AM, is
