Bansy in Bethesda. Canceled
**The concert has been cancelled due to the forecasted extreme heat**
The band Bansy will be part of the Summer Concert Series I. Bethesda.
Their set list spans genres and generations. They blend classic guitar anthems with todayโs most popular pop hits. With multiple lead vocalists, instrument switching, and an energetic, interactive stage presence, they focus on keeping the crowd engaged, singing along, and having a great time from start to finish.
Bring a chair. Try to get there early to help me grab some tables.
Fun & easy way to play more tennis (read event description)
Weโre still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches.
These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun!
Also, if youโre looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you arenโt already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what weโre all about and sign up:
https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/silver-spring-md/meetup/
If you love tennis, weโd love to have you! Be sure and watch the quick video that explains how everything works.
Happy hitting!

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.**

Movement is for everyone, whether youโve danced for years or are brand new. This **isnโt about performing or getting the โrightโ steps.** Itโs about tuning into your bodyโs natural rhythms, finding freedom in stillness and motion, and remembering what it feels like to be fully alive.
Whether youโre seeking connection, healing, or simply a fresh perspective, youโre **welcome exactly as you are**.
Movement is the doorway. Weโll guide you the rest of the way.
