This week at dancing
  To celebrate the popular date of August 23 we will have a 2-3 program featuring 2 and 3 figure dances. There will also be some chains of 2 or 3 related dances. Wear your favorite 2 (or 3) shoes and dance the night away! Holly Plotner will DJ this lively evening, assisted by Lila Luce.

Teaching: Franklin Houston will kick off the evening promptly at 7:30 with a fun newcomers' session. Franklin will take us back to Slavonia for more jiggling with the "mixed pickles" step. He'll review the dances he taught recently and add one or two more so that we'll have lots of opportunities for doing this fun step. Later, Kathleen McDonagh will review Gavotte D'Honneur, the French line dance she introduced last week.
