CANCELLED: Outdoor Dancing in College Park

Country dance outdoors, Saturday, May 7th

Owing to the weather forecast, this event has been cancelled.

Weather permitting, we will be dancing outdoors at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in 4512 College Avenue in College Park, Maryland. This dance will take place on Saturday, May 7, from 4 until 7.

We did this last May and had a blast. This year, we will be bringing our dance floor rather than dance on the pavement!

Restroom available. Make sure to check for weather update that day. No cover. Bring yourself, a friend, and maybe a snack to share.

Hello, everybody! We’ve got a new series of dance nights scheduled for you, on a new day at a new location: the North Hall at Eastern Market, at 7th Street and North Carolina Avenue, S.E., two blocks from the Eastern Market Metro station.

The dances that had been previously scheduled for Hook Hall in April and May will not take place.

In addition, an outdoor dance is being planned for Saturday, May 7, at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in College Park, weather permitting. More information on that is to come.
