Thank you to you all for coming to donate your time instructing, performing and spending the day with each other! It really was great to see each group's table set up with brochures, photos, business cards, and even t-shirts to sell!


Our team met early in the morning to set up our props and decorations and set up the sound system our raffle table, our group information table, our bake sale table, and our guest sign in table. The whole team did a fablous job taking charge on their own missions, and making things look great!.
We all met for our annual group photos and they came out great! A few are a little blurry, but still really nice poses from them all great job!

Missing from our annual group photo is, Brittany Bernier, Justin Joslin, Winnie McCormick, Sue Lancey, Libby Clark and Connie Coviello.

The instruction from each teacher was just great! So much fun. Setting aside a half hour for each teacher was perfect. Everyone loved the set up. We ran through each instructor , starting with line dancing, then went to Irish step, clogging then swing dancing. Folks stopped in all through out the day to try some dancing fun with us. There was plenty of room on the dance floor this year! We LOVE our new location at Williamstown Elementary School, and we are all in the clear for November 6th 2010!!
During lunck break we had a chance to talk between ourselves about ideas and what we have going on for the summer.
After lunch we ran over the same agenda as before lunch but everything took a more advanced route for each style.

When the day was done, we enjoyed some fresh VT fiddling from our own member Brean Mead who is a member of the VT Fiddle Orchesta! She gave us time to listen to her as we all got ready for our demonstrations.
Each group did two routines then we alternated same as the agenda from the day.
Every routine was really just great! We were all so very excited to have the Irish step group show us some really awesome river dancing too!! All of these dancers are so very talented. I am excited to see these hidden styles of dance emerge from VT!



The props were really awesome. I was excited to have the back drop donated to us by the arts class from the Williamstown Elementary School. We in return, donated money back to them to continue their wonderful program!
The raffle and bake sale went great. I want to thank everyone who bought tickets from us.
The funds we raised helped to cover the costs of this event.
Please view our photo gallery for more photos from our workshop! We look forward to seeing you all next year.
