July Updates: Flurry Fest goes virtual!

Dear Friend,

It's been an eventful few months for our nation, and we at the DanceFlurry Organization are doing our best to roll with it. Our big announcement is that the 2021 Flurry will still take place right on schedule, just with a bit of a venue change. This Presidents Weekend, the Flurry Festival will be coming to you! The 2021 Online Flurry will bring you all the amazing performers you love, along with workshops, instruction, jamming, and spaces to hang out with friends. (And when you collapse in exhaustion at the end of the night, it's with fewer steps to roll into bed.) Our managers are already planning your happiest winter weekend, and you'll find all the latest updates on the Flurry's Facebook page .

Still swinging,

The DFO Board

Community Culture

This summer the DanceFlurry Board of Directors added a new committee, led by Barbara Bemis, to focus on increasing diversity and inclusion throughout the DanceFlurry Organization and its events.
