			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A whole week-end festival of high quality dancing made as inexpensive as possible for students and young people in order to encourage them to attend. Not only an opportunity to dance a lot, but also to improve and broaden your dancing skills with awesome instructors and musical artists.</p>
<p>We are fortunate that there is a broad and growing interest among young people in traditional dance. As with every other movement centered around young people, we have brought a new momentum and energy with us. The purpose of this weekend is to both provide an outlet for this energy and channel it into a new unity and positive change in the community as the torch is being passed to new leaders and movers and shakers across the nation.</p>
<p>Please keep in mind that this weekend is open to everyone and we welcome people of all ages. The dance is merely designed primarily for and by young people as a way to help young dancers to mesh well with the dance community nation wide.</p>
<p>This years weekend we will be dancing to music by Mock Turtle Soup and the Cornstalkers, with calling by Adina Gordon and Co.<br />
We have waltz, swing, and other couple dance classes in the works, details soon!</p>
