Come dance with us!

[Dance-with-me]

There's another thread where a number of us started talking about our love of dancing and our desire to learn dancing (in particular, couples dances with a lead and a follow), which branched off into a discussion about the lack of places for butch/femme couples to learn couples dances, and even the lack of people to dance with.

Well, that branched off into a private conversation between easygoingfemme and I about a dance festival up in her area. I've been wanting to go for years and this year I'm finally making it happen - time off requested, plans started, the works.

And THEN we started talking about how awesome it would be if we could get others from the BFP community up there, so this is our pitch.

The event is called the Flurry Festival (http://www.flurryfestival.org/) and it's held February 15-17 in Saratoga Springs, NY. The rates are not posted for this year, but last year it was only $80 in advance for the entire weekend of events. It's a family-friendly event, so if you have kids you can bring them along and the cost is practically nothing - at least last year, kids under 6 were free and kids 6-12 were just $3 for the entire weekend.

There is NO need to come with a dance partner - most of the dances involve frequent partner changes.

Easygoingfemme said that she'll chime in here soon with more information.
