Date: January 20th 2008

Friends of Almost Heaven Dance Camp, it’s time to plan your 2008 Memorial Day weekend. Our wonderful new location at Timber Ridge Camp in High View, West Virginia is beckoning us to return. Be sure to mark May 23-26, 2008 on your calendar now. Let’s continue to create new traditions at this idyllic location.

The Annapolis Traditional Dance Society invites you to another exciting weekend that is always enjoyable for families and adults. This year we are featuring vigorous, New England-style contra dance music from Wild Asparagus; the OpporTunists, a versatile band of musicians, providing a California slant for our weekend; and the Avant Gardeners, providing energetic contra dance and a wide variety of couple dance music. Becky Hill and George Marshall will call contras and more. Gaye Fifer and Wayne Albright as well as Ellen Engle and Marc Shepanek will mix it up a bit with workshops to help you fine-tune your waltzes, tangos, swing, and other dancing styles. The weekend also features children’s and family activities, daytime and evening swims in the pool, late-night parties and so much 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 recently installed, sprung-wood floor. Also the camp features an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a dining hall that can handle 400 people. Other halls provide space for additional dancing and get togethers. The cabins are all enclosed and have bathrooms and showers.

Come on out and share the fun! See you on the dance floor.
