This Friday at dancing:
House Party at Stephanie's. |
 Hancock Rec Center will be closed in observance of Veterans Day. Join us instead at Stephanie Anderson’s house in central Austin, 4907 Lynndale Drive, for a potluck dinner beginning at 7:30 pm until 11:30 pm. Musicians are welcome (but not obligated) to bring their instruments. Her place isn’t huge, but we seem to be able to dance in small spaces.

AIFD is organized exclusively for educational purposes, including the promotion and teaching of traditional folk dance, music and crafts native to a variety of countries.

 Have something you'd like to see in the AIFD newsletter? Do you have an upcoming event you'd like to announce, a poem you'd like to share, a dance experience you think other dancers would enjoy? Feel free to submit it to the AIFD newsletter and we'll see if we can fit it in.
