Almost Heaven... 25th anniversary celebration

Dear friends of Almost Heaven Dance Camp,

Memorial Day weekend is now just 17 weeks away, the main dance hall has 8 new roof ventilators, and registration for Almost Heaven is now open.  The Annapolis Traditional Dance Society invites you to the 25th consecutive year of an exciting weekend that is always enjoyable for families and adults.   To celebrate, we are planning giveaways, games, historical slide shows, and other fun surprises.

As usual, we will convene at Timber Ridge Camp near High View, WV, just across the VA state line.  We are featuring vigorous, New England-style contra dance music from Swallowtail; plus the Morrison Brothers Band and Alexander Mitchell's Bold Weevils... with callers galore!... Shawn Brenneman, Greg Frock, Jim Morrison, George Marshall, Tim VanEgmond. Dance instructors Marc Shepanek, Ellen Engle, Steve Gester, and Peggy Leiby will conduct workshops to help you fine-tune your waltzes, tangos, swing, and other styles, including the Salty-Dog. Dancing starts Friday night and continues through Monday afternoon, with a few breaks for hearty meals, late-night parties, Play with Swallowtail gatherings, and perhaps a little sleep.   The weekend also features an engaging family program, with family dance, lifeguard monitored swimming pool, scavenger hunt, fossil dig, crafts, games, and more.

Timber Ridge is on several hundred acres and is situated on a peninsula of the Cacapon River in wild and wonderful West Virginia. There is a large dance hall with a 5-year-young sprung-wood floor. The camp also features a dining hall that can handle 400 people, a large swimming pool, sporting fields, and a fossil pit. Other halls provide space for additional dancing and get togethers. The cabins are all enclosed and have bathrooms and showers.

We hope to see you in May for another great Almost Heaven, long weekend.

Sincerely,
Cindy Rury, registrar, committee chair
