Join us for a virtual waltz dance and concert with Terpischore this Friday at 7:30pm. This virtual dance and concert, presented in partnership with Waltz Time, is the third concert in our Live from the Spanish Ballroom special engagement series.
This Saturday, at 9:30am, join us for another story in our Carousel Story Time series. We will be reading A Ride to Remember by Sharon Langley and Amy Nathan. It tells the story of a carousel — just like the one at Glen Echo Park — that was also part of the civil rights movement in the 1960s . (And if you missed last month’s Story Time, you can use the link below to find it on our website.)
You'll find all the details and links for these activities, upcoming classes, and more below.
Enjoy!
