READY, SET, GO . . . .

Registration is now open for Almost Heaven Dance Camp 2009. Once again you will find us at Timber Ridge Camp in High View, West Virginia on the Memorial Day Weekend, May 22-25.

If you are unfamiliar with this great family-friendly event, Almost Heaven features contra, swing, waltz, and tango dancing. Dancing starts Friday night and continues through Monday afternoon, with a few breaks for hearty meals and perhaps a little sleep. The complete fun package includes our Play with Swallowtail gatherings, other workshops, and a wide variety of family activities. An Olympic-size swimming pool, sporting fields, and a fossil pit provide other diversions.

This year we are featuring Swallowtail, The Groovemongers, and Fiddlestyx. George Marshall and Tim Van Egmond will be joined in calling by Robert Cromartie and Gaye Fifer. Ellen Engle, Marc Shepanek, Wayne Albright, Gaye Fifer will all be there to sharpen your dancing skills, as well.

If you are interested, look us up at http://www.contradancers.com/ or find our pink registration forms at many local dances. If you don�t find what you need you can always contact Marti Schweitzer, Registrar, at almostmarti@gmail.com.

Hope to see you in May!
