Spring Classes 2021
In-person classes are still paused at our home space, The Dance Hall Kittery, ME, for the time being due to the Covid pandemic. We’ve been holding by-donation drum and dance classes (as weather permits) at Short Sands Beach in York, ME.

It’s been too long since I’ve sat at my drum, I will hope to join you in the New year. Still planning in Thursdays?
