Bring the whole family for an afternoon of dancing and socializing. We are pleased to host Diane Silver (an experienced family dance facilitator from Asheville, NC) to lead this event. These dances are geared for participation by all — kindergarten to grandparent. All the dances will be taught and called. It will be a great time — don’t miss this wonderful afternoon.

This event will be held on Saturday, May 18, 2024, from 1:00 to 3:30 in the ball room of the Wyoming Fine Arts Center (322 Wyoming Ave, Wyoming, OH 45215). The cost is $5 per adult, children and teens are free. All proceeds will be donated to the Wyoming Fine Arts Center.

This weekend (Mar. 22-24), we are hosting our founder, Richard Powers, for a 19th Century dance weekend workshop and Victorian spring ball. Note that registration is FULL for the workshop but the ball is open to the public (see the Balls page). We will post pictures and videos on this site in early April.
