Hi everyone,

We are happy to announce that Skye Humphries & Naomi Uyama will be in Montreal May 7-9, 2010 for a weekend of inspiration. There will be dances on both Saturday & Sunday night.

For details, email me at alain.wong@catscorner.ca

Cheers!

Laura's workshop and the BIG APPLE LINDY HOPPERS were so popular when we brought them to the Hudson Valley in December that we've brought them back for more!

This time both the workshop and the dance will be held in the spacious 2000 square foot Reformed Church in Port Ewen so there will be plenty of room for everyone--including all of the BALH troupe members who will be participating in the workshop rotation--enhancing your learning experience!
