It’s happening! 

Puttin’ On The Dance 3: Dancing Forward Together will be May 2-4, 2025 in Belfast Maine. 

This conference is for YOU - the people who plan and run traditional dance events and series across the Northeastern US and Eastern Canada. And it is by YOU. Conference attendees will share best practices, participate in group discussions, help peers solve problems, and learn new skills. 

And, of course, we’ll make music and dance together! Friday we’ll join the Belfast Flying Shoes community dance and contras and Saturday we’ll throw a conference-only dance party.

We’ll be gathering at the Fireside Inn & Suites, Ocean Edge, Belfast, Maine where every room has an ocean view and the amenities include a heated mineral pool, hot tub and sauna. But, DON’T reserve your room. This is a residential conference where everyone will stay at the hotel; lodging is included in the registration fee.

We’re still working on the final costs for catering and securing sponsorships, but we expect the full conference fees to be in the range of $250-$315 USD per person if sharing a room.

Plan ahead now! POTD1 and POTD2 sold out. Registration opens on March 1, 2025. Watch the website over the next few weeks for more information including ideas on how to fund your conference participation.

Please share this information with new organizers who might not be on this distribution list. See you in Maine!
