Dear chris,
I have never made it to the Ralph Page dance weekend. There is an issue
that I have been stuck with that their web site provoked.
We will be discussing this at our semi annual meeting:
Old time string bands
To get more people (and young people)at our dances we need to have good
music that drives dances. Old time string bands do not do that.
So do we continue to hire them, the occasional dissatisfaction of our
dancers (who look foreword to the weekly dance) to preserve that part of our
history.

Hello all,
Once again, it's time for the annual Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend. Once
again, everyone from the SharedWeight lists is invited to join us for lunch
on Saturday and Sunday. We push a bunch of tables together and talk about
whatever we want. Calling, communities, music. There are always people who
bring food to share, so feel free to join the potluck.
The RPDL weekend is a special and unique weekend. There you can meet the
key movers and shakers of the contra dance revival. Network with and learn
from people who have made the dance community their passion for decades.
Plus have a lot of fun with some really excellent dancers.
