Greenbelt International Folk Dancers
Friday night Greenbelt International Folk Dancing has gone "virtual".
As we all practice good social distancing, many in our folk dance community are feeling the absence of our usually scheduled local dances. In response, please join us for the Greenbelt Virtual Folk Dance Session.
Letโs keep dancing!
โข Connect and dance in our own homes
โข Watch hosts leading familiar dances
โข See each other; listen and dance to our favorites
How: We will be using the ZOOM video conferencing app to share music and live videos of the leaders and each other. This can be used on a desktop, laptop, or smartphone.
What to Expect: Your hosts are Linda Mansdorf, Vita Hollander, Ben Hole, and John Robinson. Collectively they will play 25-30 dances, which should approximate the number of dances normally done on a Friday night in-person event. The hosts will do a quick teaching or demonstration of the steps to some of the dances that may be less familiar to you or just as a refresher, but the session is not designed as a workshop, so the majority of the evening will be spent playing dances that many of us already know and love to do.
How To Join Us: Each week we will send an email with the Zoom Meeting link ID. Make sure John Robinson knows you would like to receive this email with the link. John's email address for Info: j_srobinson@verizon.net.

Celebratinโ da Funk oโJuly
**Maybe youโre looking for an alternative to celebrating our countryโs 250th birthday at donnieโs rally to end democracy? If so, then I suggest a night of exile to the Republic of Takoma Park to see the funkiest band around - ๐KatBootyJuice!**
[KatBootyVibe (YouTube)](YouTube)
**Nothing better than having a few drinks at your favorite poorly air conditioned dive bar and getting hot and sweaty on the dance floor with friends and strange-ones.**
**KatBootyJuice is led by the enigmatic funkmeister, Jimmy Gold, and his five string bass with his groove masters playing funky favorites from the 70s to the 90s.**
**VFW Post 350 (Hellโs Bottom) is a fav hangout with cheap drinks, friendly irregulars, live music 6 nights a week, and a decent dance floor. The Henry Sisters food truck has a tasty menu of offerings. Thereโs a parking lot or nearby street parking.**
