Dare To Be Square - West!
Bill Martin
about doing a whole lot of square dancing at big public dances,
workshops, and infamous all-night music and dance parties. Its an
intense weekend, but intense like a high school kegger! Okay, maybe
that's not the best comparison. I can guarantee you'll be tired and
sooo happy by Sunday afternoon. Larry Edelman is a legendary, maybe
THE legendary, old-time square dance caller in this country. I've been
out in a square when he was calling where I felt like I was
levitating... Dang. Is that hyperbole? No! Its true! Larry is going to
take Portland by storm, so don't miss out on any of it. Read below and
then take action. You can afford this - let us help you. - Bill
