NEXT UP in Louisville!!!
Social responsibility and safety of our dance community requires that we cancel English dance until it is safe to resume. We will follow national CDC and state guidelines to determine when that will be. The Ball we had planned for April 4 will be rescheduled, maybe to September or October. Just to give us hope, lets think about resuming in September, maybe with masks and gloves if need be. Obviously, conditions in the area will determine if this is too soon so we'll see. ............................................................ ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
Once a year we have a special dance with Keltricity playing. Deborah Denenfeld is calling this dance.
Our Once a Year dance with Keltricity
At the Jane Austen Festival Grand Ball back when it was held at Spalding University. Don Corson is calling, Keltricity is playing, and Kathy (in blue) is waiting for her turn to get into the thick of a dance.

Coming up in the "Area" .................................................................. CDSS just announced that the entire Pinewoods Dance Camp season is cancelled for Summer, 2020. There is just too much uncertainty about the progress of The Virus in the next few months and with the costs and planning required to make any event happen, all of the groups hosting dance events agreed to just cancel and start anticipating a 2021 season. -------------------------------------------------------------------
