Hiya Barn Dance Friends,
We're hoping to start up again with dances live and in person this fall. We're planning to dance the first Sunday of the month from November through April. But, we need a few more behind the scenes helpers. Maybe that is you! Would you like to see community barn dances happen this fall? Then please get in touch and maybe we can make it happen.

There is an old tradition of dancing the sun up on May 1 to welcome the return of warm weather. That tradition lives on in Philadelphia with an early morning of dance performances and group singing. Come see Morris dancers perform to live music and sing along to traditional May carols! Dancing happens on Belmont Plateau in Fairmount Park, rain or shine. Events will begin by 6 am and wrap up by about 7:30 am. There is no charge for this event. Adults and children of all ages are welcome. The event will end with a glorious May Pole dance for all (including you!).
This is a unique celebration that you won't want to miss! I know it's really early! But you should check it out. It's a special morning. And it's only once a year.

Location information: dancing will take place on Belmont Plateau - a beautiful large grassy field with a wonderful view of the Philadelphia skyline. Note that there are no restroom facilities available at Belmont Plateau.

Hello Barn Dance community,

We’ve missed dancing and singing with you, and are really hoping to resume in the fall.

But before that, please consider joining a week of dance and music camp this summer, either Cascade in Maryland or Ashokan in the Catskills! These camp programs are magical and wonderful. They're a great combination of activities you do with your kids, and classes by age group for kids so adults can do something else. The community is amazing -- life-changing and nurturing and great!

Cascade of Music and Dance (is August 15-21, and the staff includes Rick & Chloe.

Give it a think, hope to see you at camp!

Hello barn dancers,
Tomorrow would normally be the first dance of the season, but as with so much else we aren't quite ready to resume normal activities. However, we're encouraged by the availability of vaccines for kids 5-11 and the low-ish Philly case numbers -- fingers crossed that we'll be able to meet in person before spring!
