[Organizers] Organizers Digest, Vol 26, Issue 17

[djw8888 . via Organizers]

Hi, Emily.
Haven't created a cloud before but here are a few words to consider:

connect, contemporary, traditional, meet, join in, flow, listen, move,
walk, V02, formation, commemorate, celebrate, endorphins, oxytocin, touch,
eye contact, family-oriented, friendly, inclusive, welcoming

Have fun,

Denise Wenner (Houston Houston Area Dance Society - HATDS)

PS My first contra experience was in Ottawa. :-)
