youth dance weekend
The second annual YDW will take place September 25-27, 2009 at Farm and Wilderness in Vermont. Dont' miss it! YDW is an awesome weekend of dancing, singing, playing music, hanging out, discussion, and more dancing. The 2008 weekend was a tremendous success, and 2009 will be even better. We'll see you there.
YDW is open to participants ages 18 and up, and is focused on encouraging youth participation and leadership in the dance and music community. Registration is now open. Sign up early to reserve your spot! We anticipate YDW selling out this year.
