Many thank yous to all the people who made up my wonderful kitchen team on Sunday afternoon and to the always generous community who provided us with a mountain of goodies to consume.

New Dance Class

Want to learn something new? 

Come and join me and learn a traditional Russian Gypsy Folk Dance. This lively dance is performed to a traditional Russian Gypsy song “Shatritsa”. It tells the story of a young girl living in a tent. As in most Russian dances, the dance starts slowly but increases in speed and intensity near the end of the song.

Wear a long, full, skirt and a comfortable top and be ready to move! 

Thursday evenings, February 18 – April 14. 7:30 – 9:00 at the Community Hall

Cost - $75.00 or $12.00 dropin -  No charge for dancers under 19.
