Dear Dancers,
Spring DanceFest, featuring caller Kalia Kliban, is upon us–THIS WEEKEND, March 10-11, 2018!
Due to the size of the Murphey School hall, and the high number of registrations we have received this year, we have declared the Saturday evening dance party SOLD OUT, meaning we will not be able to accommodate walk-ins at the door. If you had planned to attend but didn’t register, please e-mail [email protected]
On the plus side, there are still other opportunities to dance with Kalia throughout the weekend, including:
