[Organizers] What is the main goal of your dance series or organization?

[Chrissy Fowler via Organizers]

Love this thread!  Here's info for Belfast Flying Shoes (in Belfast, ME)

>From Belfast Flying Shoes website:

MISSION: 

The mission of Belfast Flying Shoes is to bolster the spirited dance 
community in Midcoast Maine.  We do this in part by deliberately weaving
 three strands into the fabric of a monthly series: The Community Dance,
 the Social Break, and the Contra Dance.

The Community Dance - Fun and simple dances, such as
 those presented at weddings or schools. Calling by Chrissy Fowler. 
Music by the All-Comers Band, led by a core ensemble and open to all 
musicians. New dancers, experienced dancers, families, and musicians all
 collaborate to create the event.

The Social Break - A sociable half-hour between the 
Community and Contra dances, with emphasis on strengthening community 
connections through shared conversation.

The Contra Dance - Zesty dances and tunes in a 
program of contras and squares presented by a variety of talented 
callers and musicians, especially touring performers. Expectations for 
this particular thread are colored by committee members' collective 
experiences in other exciting dance communities.
