Don’t Forget! Our last event for July is a workshop TONIGHT with Tessa Antolini. Check it out!
We’re on Summer Break this August!
There will be no classes or dance this month to allow current organizers and volunteers to enjoy these precious last weeks of summer here in the 802. Be on the lookout for informal opportunities to get together and dance such as,
-Beach Days
-Summervale
-Live music to “dance in the wild”
All activities will be posted on our facebook page.
Classes will return this September 7th, along with the rest of the fall schedule for workshops, dances, and events around New England! Looking ahead, please consider joining our current volunteers this fall!
