Global Folk Dance Party
2021-08-21 15:00 - 18:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Online, CA, United States
Connect Globally, Dance Locally. Follow folk dance leaders and dance watching enthusiasts worldwide.
Lee Otterholt will be joining us and we’ll be focusing on the dances he’s introduced and shared with us.
Looking forward to another wonderful party with all of you.
Dance wherever you are; no need to get together to dance, we’ll dance in our own homes, apartments, vans, yurts, cabins… With luck, you’ll be able to show yourself with your webcam and we’ll see and hear each other! Hey, wear a costume!
We will:

Connect and dance in our own homes
Watch people leading dances from around the world
Submit requests and chat online
See each other; listen and dance to our favorites
