The workshop runs Friday Night through Sunday Morning, and includes calling opportunities at the Saturday dance" callers must submit an application for this weekend in Chicago. There are only 10 slots available. the applications are due August 31 and can be found, along with the flyer, at: http://fac.uchicago.edu/leadership.html There will also be master musician classes with Pete Sutherland, Mark Roberts, and Jeremiah McLane (Three of the five members of Clayfoot Strutters!). There will be two dances this weekend, so even if you cant make the whole workshop, join us for a dance led by the callers on Saturday, and an Advanced Dance led by Lisa on Sunday. This is not to be missed. Please email with any questions (off list, please). See you there! Rachel
