New this year! We have a dance floor at the Main Stage! So dance to the great performers we have scheduled this year. And of course, you can always dance at any of the other mu- sic performances around the Festival.
Last year, we introduced the Band/Dance Scramble, where musicians and dancers are shuffled into groups, given an hour to come up with an act and a name, and then given the opportunity to perform on Main Stage. We’re doing it again this year, and we’d like more dancers to participate. Give it a try!
And save some energy for the evening: you can contra dance, swing and two-step, or do some freewheeling African danc- ing from 7:30 to 11 pm.
