PAST EVENTS
Winter Festival: Feb 8-10, 2013 was canceled due to weather.
We have never had to cancel a major event before and hope never to do so again, but under the circumstances, this was the right call. A huge blizzard hit Boston hard from mid-day, Friday until Saturday evening. Two feet of snow fell exactly during the busiest part of our Festival schedule. All roads and public transport were closed and the city was officially shut down.
We sorely missed the opportunity to jam for hours and take classes with Patrick Crowley and Brando. A great music and dance jam with John Hughes and Beniot Guilemmette was also canceled. It was a sad weekend for dancing. All pre-registration funds were refunded in full.
Fall Jam/Workshop: Oct 12-14, 2012
What a great weekend we had! Jamming in the mornings and classes in the afternoons, evening jams (one with music by Stan Strickland).
The Fall Jam's classes were popular with Kristen's intermediate/advanced class full from on-line pre-registrations and Moti's class filling at the door. The jams allowed the last few stragglers in with only a bit of breathing room to spare. Feedback on the workshops and lab was very positive; the food was delicious; all the out-of-towners were successfully housed. What more can we say? How about, "See you again next Columbus Day weekend".
21st Annual May Jam, May 25-28, 2012
This was a great event. Over 80 dancers, local and from as far away as the UK, joined us for a great time with Jeff Bliss as artist-in residence. The Monday, off-the-dance-floor, beach trip was a great day in the sun, dancing on the sand. Max and Mark produced the food for the weekend and even published a great recipe book.
May Jam is an annual event every Memorial Day weekend. See you in May 2013.
The Art of Listening with Kirstie Simson - February 10-12, 2012
Our weekend intensive with Kirstie Simson was a great success! We look forward to bringing Kirstie and other such fabulous teachers to Boston in the future.
