No Dancing tonight - February 15th!
We would have loved to see you tonight, (and we'll admit the weather is not likely to be catastrophic,) but we have touched base with several of you, and took a straw poll of those likely to come out with the snow & ice coming down - parking cut off by snow-banks, etc... Bottom line, stay and be safe. We'll look forward to dancing up a storm (indoors) with you next week. (at the Lawton Center.) See our schedule for locations in the coming weeks.

Welcome!

The International Folk Dancers of Bethesda meets on Monday night. The Beginner's Group begins at 7:30pm and the Intermediate group meets from 8:00-l0pm. It has been sponsored by the Montgomery County Department of Recreation for 45 years. The group met at the Bethesda Community Center for almost 30 years, but now meets on Monday evenings in the social hall at the Lawton (formally named Leland) Community Center, 430l Willow Lane in Bethesda, MD. Willow Lane is 4 blocks south of the intersection of East West Highway and Wisconsin Ave. If driving south on Wisconsin Ave., turn left on Willow Lane, then proceed 4 blocks and the Leland Center is on the left. The Leland Center has a wonderful wood floor. Come with or without a partner. No partner is required or necessary. The group is comprised of adults over the age of l6. We provide mostly recorded music, but occasionally live music and workshops. Registration is required through the Montgomery County Department of Recreation for a series of classes. Students who are not Montgomery County, MD residents must pay an additional $l0.00 service fee. Registration forms are included in the Recreation Department Guide or are available at the Monday night class. On several holidays through the year and when the Montgomery County schools are closed, our class is sponsored by Diamond Dance Circle and meets at an alternate location. For information on schedule or changes of location, call The Diamonds at 30l-87l-8788 or e-mail: diamonddancecircle@comcast.net.

The group sponsors several workshops during the year when outstanding dance masters teach workshops. Our Annual Holiday Party in December usually features live music.
