Saturday April 21 from 8:30-11:30 p.m. at the Oddfellows Hall

Bring your dancing shoes and get ready for another fun night of dancing sponsored by Orcas Community Dance! The theme is World Music and the dance will feature a combination of salsa, reggae, and other highly danceable beats provided by local DJ’s Bruce and Jyoti Pavitt and Jay Kimball.

Orcas Community Dance is a local group formed to promote dancing on Orcas. With every dance, the emphasis is on having a good time and helping build community. The dances are always low cost and all proceeds go to benefit a local non-profit organization. $5-10 donation.

Proceeds from the April 21st dance will go to support F.E.A.S.T. (Farm Education And Sustainability for Teens) which is currently gearing up for another season. F.E.A.S.T. is a community supported and community taught sustainability education program. Though the program is designed for teens, who receive high school credit for their participation, some of the summer classes will be open to adults. The curriculum is intended to empower youth and other community members with sustainable living skills such as growing food, seed saving, animal husbandry, blacksmithing, permaculture, wild harvesting, bee-keeping, alternative energy, mycology, and more!

For more information contact Learner Limbach, Program Coordinator, foodmasters.orcas@gmail.com or visit the F.E.A.S.T. website https://feastprogram.org/ . We will also have more information available at the dance.
