Busy week ahead for Parsippany
Dancing is a great form of exercise and it's also, for most, a lot of fun. And—especially when you're talking about line dances—almost anyone can join in the fun. Line dancing classes for seniors kicked off last month at the Parsippany Community Center and they're still going strong every Monday at 1:30 p.m. Patch plans to join area seniors in tripping the light fandango this week. Electric Slide? Boot scootin' boogie? The Madison? We're ready. The 2013 municipal budget should get some attention during Tuesday's Township Council agenda meeting this week. The gathering takes place at Parsippany High School under another expectation—that a large turnout will be present for another hot-button topic, the controversial idea to rezone 26.6 …
