***Limited to 15 participants***
Tickets:
$12 online in advance (see linked event page, payment by credit card)
$15 at the door (as available–credit card, cash, or Venmo)
(prices include VT sales tax)
WHAT TO EXPECT:
+ Barn Doors open at 6:45PM—check in with Larissa when you arrive
+ if there are spots still available they will be first come first served (call or text for day-of availability)
+ Lesson starts at 7PM, end time is after everyone feels good with the choreography or 8:30PM, whichever comes first!
+ We will be working on a single (and more challenging) dance, so this will feel a bit more like a dance class than ‘Boots & Burgers’ typically does
+ limited class size: my fabulous sprung dance floor is modestly sized, and I’ll be taking time to give individual assistance throughout the evening
ABOUT THE VENUE:
+ Located on East Warren Rd. Between Common & Rolston
+ Parking on the grass as marked
+ Stowell Barn is a 3-season structure, so this will be a more open-air experience than Afterthoughts
+ Accessible portalet available on site
+ Bring beverages if desired, drinking water and some other NA beverages provided
Reach out via email if you have any questions!
Looking forward to dancing with y’all in the barn soon
