This Friday at dancing
Holly DJs, Dee assists.

  Enjoy a lively evening of folk dancing DJ'd by Holly Plotner. Holly will be assisted by Dee McCandless. |
Teaching: A huge thank you to Norris Foster Harrell and Holly Plotner. Last Friday, they stepped in at the last minute to teach for Stephanie Anderson, who was ill. We really appreciate their help.
 This week, Stephanie will present two fabulous dances from Norway and Sweden. These are two of the dances taught by Roo Lester at Texas Camp 2016. Stephanie will begin the evening with Telegangar for 3. Her featured teaching will be Finnskogspols. Come with the sparkle of the Northern lights in your eyes and Scandinavia in your heart. As always, teaching begins at 7 PM.
