Welcome to Puttin’ On the Dance!
SAVE THE DATES:
POTD-3 is happening Friday, May 2 – Sunday, May 4, 2025 in Waldo County, Maine. Hurrah! We’ll update this page as we confirm details. For now, mark your calendars and plan to join us for this special conference for dance organizers in the Northeast!
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!
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 British Isles social dance traditions (e.g., barn, Cape Breton, community, contra, English, 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.
