Summer’s here and it’s time for some dancing in the street.
Dance Happens Here Haliburton (DH3) is partnering with Pride in the Highlands and the River Cone to host, ‘out in the street line dancing.’
On Saturday, Aug. 23, from 2-4 p.m., everyone is welcome to join the fun. Dances will be led by local line dance instructor, Jacqui Bell.
Bell said, “my approach is to teach some simple steps so that everyone feels comfortable joining in. There will be something for everyone.” Inclusion is the name of the game for this event. All ages are welcome. It is free and donations are welcome.
As a part of the afternoon, dancers from some of Bell’s classes will show their moves. The River Cone will have food and drink available, plus Pride in the Highlands features.
Monica and Ben Scott of the River Cone said, “we’re so excited to have this happening at the River Cone. We are all about families and love doing things for the community.”
Allan Guinan, co-chair of Pride in the Highlands added, “we’re thrilled to be partnering with DH3 to host this community dance during our Pride Week festival. We hope everyone will join us as we dance on the street to all kinds of music, including queer artists and choreographers from Orville Peck, Elton John and others.”
This event is possible with the support of the Government of Canada and donations to DH3. DH3 is part of the Haliburton County Community Co-operative. For more details visit www.dancehappenshere.com
