BRANDON - Donna Garzone has all the moves: fox trot, tango, cha-cha, meringue, swing and samba.

And she's willing to share her fancy footwork.

The Plant City dance instructor is leading Dancing for Fun and Fellowship, a new Thursday evening program sponsored by First United Methodist Church of Brandon.

For $20 a month, Garzone is teaching her moves to a crowd at the Boys & Girls Club.

About 50 people gathered at the club on a recent Thursday, learning the basics of the waltz and the rumba.

It was obvious this wasn't the latest episode of 'Dancing With the Stars,' but it was a big crowd-pleaser, nonetheless.

'I'm stunned at the turnout,' said Don Furlong, who recently approached the pastor at the church with the idea for a different kind of fellowship.

'Probably 50 or 60 percent of the people here attend the church. The others just found out about it. It's just wonderful,' Furlong said.

'Just look at all these people.'

The Boys & Girls Club is at 213 Knights Ave., just north of State Road 60 and west of Parsons Avenue.

For details, call the church office at (813) 689-4161.
