Wow, what an absolute blast at Saturday’s monthly dance party!

The energy was high and the floor was moving, all thanks to the fabulous music by Janette Duncan, Beth Christians, Mark Davoren, and Patti Cobb. 🎶💃🕺

To wrap up an incredible night, here’s a peek at Mel Briscoe’s Many Happy Returns—one of the fantastic dances from the very last set! https://youtu.be/kzk1GyxFCVo👇

It has been a very productive day. I and 14 others successfully renewed our CPR/AED certifications. Additionally, I was surprised and honored to receive a Branch Award for my 15 years of service as Branch Treasurer.

Please take a look at our awards on display from the first North American Festival. We certainly have much to be proud of.

🏝️ Island Vibes & Dancing Feet!
Our San Francisco crew took over Catalina Island! 💃🕺 Over 30 of our branch members headed south for the Southern California Inter-Branch Workshop, and wow, what a weekend.

Huge shoutout to the organizers for such a seamless event, and to Thistle House for providing the kind of music that makes it impossible to stay off the dance floor! 🎶

It was so wonderful catching up with dancing friends from all over. We’re already counting down the days until we see you all again at Asilomar this October! 💃🕺🌲✨
