World Dance Day – Celebrate in Almonte!
World Dance Day -- Celebrate in Almonte!
Have you heard? Sunday April 29th is World Dance Day and the big band, Standing Room Only, will be holding it's last dance of the spring season -- so come out and dance!
Every year since 1982 the world has celebrated dance in all it's variations. In Almonte, at the Old Town Hall, we will be celebrating the day with the sounds of a big band.
Once again the youth of Almonte will come out to serve refreshments as a fundraiser for the youth centre known as TYPS (Take Young People Seriously). And while you are in the Old Town Hall please take a moment to look at the newest installment of stained glass, just above the entrance to the building. This work of art was donated to the town by the youth of TYPS who made it last year in conjunction with four local stained glass artists.
Times and prices for the Sunday April 29th dance remain the same: doors open at 12:30pm, music plays between 1:00 and 4:00; tickets are $10 ($8 for seniors and students) and are available in advance from The Miller's Tale, Almonte (VISA accepted, 613 256 9090) or at the door. For more information regarding the dance and the band, please call Catherine at 613 256 9266.
Please note that due to the success of the Spring Dance season, Standing Room Only has booked the Old Town Hall for three more dance dates in 2007 -- September 30th, October 21st and December 9th. So if we miss you this month we hope to see you out and swinging in the fall.
