This session is a perfect late-summer opportunity to enjoy the crystal-clear ponds and the sun-dappled forest of Pinewoods Camp, while cavorting in the open-air pavilions to a dance and music program led by a sterling staff.
The schedule offers American, English, and International dance and music classes. The evening dances are a pleasing potpourri of dance styles, spectacularly supported by a mélange of marvelous musicians!
More information on the session will be posted in the coming days. Questions? Email FAC.
