P.S. The Back Story:In
November 2011, Puttin' On the Dance convened nearly 80 dance organizers
in White River Junction, VT. In March 2015, Puttin' On the Dance 2
convened over 80 dance organizers in Ottawa, ON.
Both POTD1 and
POTD2 were packed with workshops, discussions, dancing and more. Dance
communities throughout the region benefited from the weekend conference
in significant ways, and Conference Archives from
POTD1 and
POTD2 continue to support dance organizers. Participants made it clear an event like this should happen every few years. (See
testimonials.) It’s time for POTD3!
