Howdy Folkdancers,
This Saturday (2/9) will be Contra Dancing at our usual venue, the Salvation Army gym.
International dancing will resume on Saturday 2/17 from 7 to 10 p.m.
Feb. 23-24 is the annual Steam and Stomp International Folkdance at Boulder Hot Springs
south of Helena. Several from our group will be in Boulder for that event, so it's not
certain there will be international dancing in Kalispell that weekend. More later.
Since quite a few from our group may not be getting the registration details about Steam
and Stomp, I have added that information to the end of this e-mail. Deadline for registration
is Friday Feb. 9. Carpooling is available.

The annual International Folkdance at Boulder Hot Springs, the Steam and Stomp, is a folkdancing

and visit with folk dancers from across Montana (and beyond). Dances will be taught by local
