I-Heart-Dancing
AIFD's take on a Valentine's party.
Come be our valentine.
Come express what dances, music, people, places, things, events, and anything else that you heart at this special dance event. No partner required. The organizers have also planned some creative mixers and other interesting ways to express what you are fond of.
Bring a heart-themed or heart healthy treat to share.

Misi Tsurikov will DJ this fun event assisted by Iola Hallock.
Teaching: Love is in the air . . . love of dancing, that is. Join us at 7:30 when Kathleen McDonagh will walk through dances with songs about love: unrequited love, young love, bride songs, love of country, humorous love songs. Included will be "Ina Ina," (introduced by this year's SAFDF teachers Cristian Florescu and Sonia Dion), an Aromani song in which a nervous suitor wonders how he should ask a girl to marry him.

A Lovers Dance
© Ernsalite Menard
A lovers dance is patient and kind
It feeds your heart, soul and mind
It brings you joy and happiness within
Knowing that he or she will be with you
Through thick and thin.
A lovers dance can be recaptured
Only if the partners heart has not been
Fractured.
A lovers dance has no mistakes
It plays no one not even games.
A lovers dance is slow and kind
Easy to learn but hard to find.
A lovers dance.
