Calling All Dancers:

It might be wintry, cold, and gray outside your homes, like it is outside ours, but if you turn your thoughts to spring and light, you might see it is a good time to register for Almost Heaven Dance Camp, Memorial Day weekend, May 23-26, 2008. Our wonderful new location at Timber Ridge Camp in High View, West Virginia will be warm and inviting, but now is the time to plan.

You may already know that we are featuring some of the nation’s finest:

1) Wild Asparagus; well-known beyond their home territory on the East Coast.

2) The West Coast phenoms, the OpporTunists, who will make you wish you lived in California.

3) And let’s not forget the Washington metro area favorites and always reliables, the Avant Gardeners.

4) With a teaching and calling line-up that includes Wayne Albright, Ellen Engle, Gaye Fifer, Becky Hill, George Marshall, and Marc Shepanek, how can you miss?

The Annapolis Traditional Dance Society invites you to another exciting weekend that is always enjoyable for families and adults. The weekend features the best in contra dancing along with many other dance styles that you have been meaning to try. We have children’s and family activities each day. The pool is a big draw for anyone who cannot wait for the official start to summer. You can count on evening parties, impromptu music, new friends, and so much more.

Timber Ridge is located in wild and wonderful West Virginia. There we use a large dance hall with a wonderful sprung wood floor. The camp also features an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a dining hall that can handle 400 people. Other facilities provide space for additional dancing and all kinds of get-togethers. The cabins are all enclosed and have bathrooms and showers.

We hope to see you all on the dance floor in May in West Virginia. It’s Almost Heaven!
