On Saturday afternoon, there will be a line Dance Workshop taught by Denise Heenan of San Jose who has been a folk dancer and teacher for many years. She is on the Stockton Folk Dance Camp Committee. At Camp, she hosts the Lawn Parties and coordinates the After- Parties. Her teaching skills and delightful personality will make this an enjoyable workshop. Registration is at 1:30 pm. The workshop will be from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. Saturday night we will have two dance parties simultaneously. Downstairs will be a Couple Dance Party and upstairs will be a line Dance Party. The Couple Dance Party will be held in the main hall of the College Center where we will have the workshops. It is a beautiful room with a parquet wood floor. The hosts will be Cleo and Walt Baldwin of Sacramento. They have .taught classes hi couple, line, and set dances at all levels since the early 1960's. Registration is at 7:30 pm and the party will be from 8:00-1 1:30 pm. The line Dance Party will be upstairs in the College Center. The room has an excellent wood floor. The host will be Drew Herzig of Sacramento, who is an outstanding dance teacher. He teaches line dance classes at all levels and directs a dance ensemble.

On Sunday afternoon, we will again have two dance parties. Cleo and Walt Baldwin will host the Couple Dance Party downstairs with a combination of dances for couples selected to satisfy all dancers with a smile.
