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. Let’s keep dancing! • Connect and dance in our own homes • Watch hosts leading familiar dances • 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. https://www.facebook.com/GreenbeltInternationalFolkDancing/ Co-sponsored by the Folklore Society of Greater Washington

See you in the first round. 💙 ✨

The rounds are better than you think. 🪷 ✨

**🎯 Short Rounds Genuine People for Surrey People Done with Apps** Throughout the event, you'll spend your time in focused short video rounds with Surrey locals paired by quiz results and age range, with a dedicated host managing each round. During sign-up, you complete a brief compatibility form — we use those answers to pair you intelligently with Surrey locals, so every person you meet has been matched to you on purpose. After all the rounds, match notifications go to both parties — but only if the feeling was mutual — and you are in control of what happens next. **Pick your age range and grab a spot:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=bloom-with-genuine-peers-through-events&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Spot not held yet:** Rsvping on meetup does not confirm your spot at the event, so tap your age group link above, register fully, and complete the personality matching quiz — numbers are intentionally limited so register early, and your spot is held only when both steps are done. --- **Perfect for:** - Women and men from Surrey ready to move past digital dating that never converts to anything real and prefer meeting people in person first. - Members based in Surrey who no longer want swiping left and right with no results and value real conversation over curated profiles. - Returners locally in Surrey who are tired of app fatigue and empty match queues and want to talk to real people tonight. - Returners near Surrey who have given up on profiles that never convert to actual dates and prefer structure over ambiguity. **What to Know** - **Format:** Live on a live video platform featuring private video date rounds, compatibility-matched within your age range. - **Where:** No travel required — on any internet-connected device, camera mic and Wi-Fi — that is the full tech list, and you can pick whatever quiet spot works for you. - **Host:** An attentive host keeps everything on track and stress-free throughout, so the focus stays entirely on the people you are meeting — from first round to final result it is all managed for you. - **Vibe:** Easy-going personal date rounds with Surrey singles who are here for the same reason you are, and first-timers always leave surprised by how natural it felt. - **Duration:** Around one to one-and-a-half hours from opening to close, and most people say it flies by. **The breakdown** 1. **Confirm your place** – through the age-specific link above, then fill in the personality matching questionnaire, as completing both steps locks in your place. 2. **Join the session** – by clicking the Zoom invite at the event time, no download is needed since it works in any browser, and a live host walks you through it from there. 3. **Connect** – focused private rounds with Surrey people matched to you by age and quiz, with everything paced by a host so nothing drags, as every round is with someone selected for you by the quiz. 4. **Collect your mutual matches** – mutual selections are shared privately once the evening wraps, with unmatched selections never disclosed to anyone, and you follow up at your own speed from there. ⭐ *"Better than every app I have tried combined — better than every app I have tried"* – Surrey single --- ✨ The best conversations start somewhere — select your bracket and register and the evening takes care of itself in this round. The evening starts the moment you register. 🥰 ✨
