Everything has its own beauty; you simply have to look for it This lovable story by Hans Christian Andersen tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers neglect from others around him until, much to his delight (and to the surprise of others), he matures into a beautiful swan, the most beautiful bird of all The Fox Theatre is proud to present a live children's stage performance of this wonderful story that is beloved around the world This adaptation is a great learning tool, useful in teaching the little ones about the importance of kindness and personal transformation for the better Come with the family and enjoy a great classic come to life!]]>

Admission: Free for dancers and musicians Callers pay a share of the $25 rent

bacds@bacds.org

Start Time(s): 2nd Tues of month: 8pm-10pm

The woodshed series is an opportunity for callers (or would-be callers) and musicians (or would-be musicians) to try out new (or new-to-them) material Callers present dances--typically English or contra--and ask the dancers for feedback on particular or general points When it is not their turn to call, they also dance In addition to some experienced dance musicians, the band is open--best for players who can sight-read or learn by ear quickly and play up to dance tempo Dancers and musicians get in free, while the callers for that evening divide the $25 rental expense for the Carriage House There's a high proportion of discussion, trying things different ways, and so forth Therefore, if you just want to dance, you may find the woodshed series frustrating  At its core, this is a working session, and dance geeks enjoy it very much]]>
