Well, Mother Nature continues to play tricks on us ! But no tricks music & dance-wise........we know that we can always find lots and lots of choices for our dance shoes. Time to get out your dance calendar and dance shoes......fill up your dance card.....something for everyone !

Start thinking ahead, because the festivals are starting to be posted for spring....really ! They will be here before you know it. Right off the top of my head, there is the Tinner Hill, Silver Spring, Columbia Pike, Western Maryland, Chesapeak, Colonial Beach, DCBlues Society, Alonzo's Picnic.....any many more.

PS- Suggestion: if you are unsure if a venue will be open, or if there is a change in band status, please call or check online if I haven't sent out an update. Some changes, are indeed, very last minute.
