Happy Valentine's Day & Lunar New Year!

        International folk dancing in Kalispell is cancelled this weekend. Instead, don't
        forget the February Contra Dance and silent auction at the Salvation Army gym this
        Saturday, Feb. 13, with Bev Young calling and Skippin a Groove from Missoula providing
        music.  Bring any spare goodies to contribute as an auction item (baked goods, jewelry,
        books, use your imagination) and/or a little extra money to bid on something special and
        help keep these dances going.

        The annual statewide Steam& Stomp weekend of international folk dancing is next
        weekend, Feb. 20-21, at Boulder Hot Springs, between Helena  and Butte. Since many
        from Kalispell will be attending, international dancing in Kalispell will also be
        cancelled on that date.  Dancing will resume Feb. 27.

        The Butte dancers are throwing a party on Sunday, Feb. 21, 7 p.m., at Sacred Ground,
        601 W. Park. Eva Maxwell invites any and all dancers in the area, especially those
        already "warmed up" from the Steam and Stomp at (relatively) nearby Boulder, "though
        we will quite understand if you are 'danced out.'  We started our little group in
        February of 2002, and somewhat to our surprise we are still dancing. It's been a great
        learning adventure for us all. Request dances, yummy treats, and special guest,
        Mitchell Frey are expected."

        In Helena, on Friday Feb. 19, there's a benefit for Montana Shares, with live jazz
        and desserts at St. Paul's in Helena, according to Julie Tabler, who will be helping
        out with some tango dancing:

        For anyone who wants to attend en route to Steam & Stomp, "We have a futon & floor
        space for anyone who'd like to stay in Helena."
