News - May 2022
With many in person dances restarting, we are further simplifying our programming. Starting in June, Kimbi Hagen will be coordinating two virtual dances per month, including booking bands and callers. She is supported by a group of volunteers helping with sound, publicity, etc.
News - January 2022
The All Hands In committee met in early January. We are pleased that we continue to attract an average of 75 dancers from the USA, Canada, the UK and occasionally Australia. We noted that most communities have paused or not started their in person dancing. Glen Echo has dropped out of the program. Our teams in Atlanta, Toronto and Philly will continue hosting dances on three Saturdays through the end of May.
