    Why settle when you can have the very best. You deserve it. While others may get by on industrial asparagus, you are offered the special chance to partake of the all organic, Wild Asparagus. This fresh juicy treat will be available in Portland on the third weekend of November. We’ve saved you a big serving.

    Bucking up the experience even more, thrill seekers can test their mettle by taking a Joyride around the dance floor. Let’s see if you can negotiate the twists and turns without the wheels coming off. Pit stops will be available for refueling.

    Directing your adventure and helping you to be in the right place at the right time, we have the Captain of contra calling, George Marshall.

    Alongside and assisting you to glide and slide like an Olympic ice skater, will be Lindsey Dono, your favorite and friendly coach.

    Registration for this rave is now open and going fast. Your favorite partners will be there and looking to dance with you.

    Cost is $180; and for dancers 30 and under 35, $100. Register on-line and pay by check, PayPal, or credit cardDancearama-2024-11-15-Flier
