Dance
Join us near the Neil Murray Stage for the dance workshops on Saturday and Sunday mornings. We have a variety of dance traditions in the workshop schedule this year but all have one thing in common. (Are you scratching your head wondering what African and Newfoundland dancing have in common?) All the dances are community dances - which means these are dances people do for fun - and you don't need to be a dance 'pro' to do these dances. Wear comfortable shoes, bring something to drink and come and kick up your heels with us.
