Dance
 From Newfoundland to Greece, on to West Africa and then back to Labrador with a stop in historic France on the way…. Join us for a world journey at the dance workshops Saturday and Sunday mornings. The dance workshops are designed for all experience levels – consider them an opportunity to ‘dip your toe in’ and try a new dance style. Wear comfortable shoes, bring something to drink and come have a dance. We’ll be at the Neil Murray Stage.
