Walter's is located at 5023 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, KS 66102 (51st and State Avenue, behind Blockbuster's) 913-287-3355. Walter's is on the south side of State Avenue, just west of the Indian Springs shopping center, barely over the top of the hill.The Minnesota address is a little misleading. Take State west from I-635 up the hill and just barely past the crest of the hill. On the left (south) side of the road is a small section of road (Minnesota) which looks more like a driveway than a road. It leads right to a house with a commercial building attached (somewhat behind Blockbuster's) and a lot of cars (especially as you get closer to class time). That is Walter's. Once inside you will find a nice living-room like front room with a ballroom attached. The dance floor seems large enough for a basketball court and is one of the very nicest ballroom floors in the area.
