A2 dancers, we have a great opportunity from our California friends! Here's what they tell us. For more info, please contact the Pear Steppers directly.
Dancers PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE attend this wonderful A2 Festival. This festival's future depends on your attendance. It’s not often that we can get Ray Brendzy down from Canada to call for us. For years Harlan Bowen has arranged festivals for A2 dancers and in the past he had eight A2 (w/some C1) festivals a year. Now we are down to two A2 festivals and Amador may also go away. WE REALLY NEED YOU AND WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU DANCE WITH US. Sacramento-Area dancers can easily drive back and forth each day if you don’t have an RV or don’t want to stay in a Cabin or Hotel. If you can come, please let Harlan know ASAP.
