Welcome to Puttin’ On the Dance!
August 2024 POTD* Update:
Since our last update in May 2020, a lot has changed! Dance organizers in the Northeast have been busy facilitating joy-filled programs in their local communities. Our dear friend, Linda Henry, has stepped down from the POTD Advisory Board to pursue other passions in her well-deserved retirement.
And… YES! It’s time for another POTD conference, and plans are in the works for POTD-3 in May 2025. As details emerge, we’ll update this page. Hurrah!
Yours in traditional social dance,
The Puttin’ On the Dance Advisory Board
Emily Addison – Ottawa, ON – Chair POTD-2
Chrissy Fowler – Belfast, ME – Co-chair POTD-1
*POTD convenes dance organizers from across the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada who produce dance events in various North American and United Kingdom social dance traditions (e.g., Cape Breton, community, contra, English country, family, Irish, Quebecois, Scottish and square). The objective of this weekend event is to provide resources and opportunities for learning, sharing, renewal, and fun! This will strengthen networks for sustaining dance organizers, who in turn sustain important traditions of participatory social dance throughout our region.
