This week at dancing
Come celebrate Halloween as your favorite international ghostly terror. We will 
have devilish dancing, a potluck snack table and rumor has it....as we near the witching hour.....a roaming spirit may visit bringing live music to our hall.
Our DJ for this fun evening will be the talented and devilishly creative Madeline Brock. Better be there to believe it! And bring a trick or treat for the snack table.
Scared of Boo-fcansko? Horrified by Horror-onsky Czardas? Come in from the darkness as  spirit guide Sally (aka Kathleen McDonagh) leads walk-throughs of frightening folk dances. Then walk the "Devil's Path" with mystical Misi Tsurikov,
as he teaches Drumul Dracului, a Moldavian Csango dance that, some say, will banish evil spirits!
