Three Days of Contras, Squares, Swing, and Couple Dances
| Come
join us for a wild three-day weekend of American dance and music
in the Sierra Mountains. A staff of outstanding callers and dance
teachers will lead daytime workshops in dance traditions from
all over the United States. We'll also have dance-band and callers'
workshops and singing sessions. Evening dance parties will feature
contras and squares and plenty of couple dancing, including swing
and foxtrot and waltz. All this will be accompanied by an all-star
musical staff.
The
camp is a beautiful place 5,000 feet up in the Sierra Nevada mountains,
near Kings Canyon National Park, 40 miles east of Fresno (about
four hours drive from Los Angeles, 5 hours from San Francisco).
The secluded camp offers swimming and boating on a private (clothing
optional) lake, as well as tennis courts and hiking trails.
Fine,
hearty meals will be served on the shaded deck just outside the
main dance hall, with vegetarian meals available. Camp runs from
Friday dinner through Monday lunch. |
