Duncan has arranged for 5 advanced classes this winter (and spring) on the last Saturday of each month from February to June. The next dances are on:

All classes are from 7.30 to 10 p.m., in the Wolfville Legion Hall, (nearly) opposite Willow Park on Main Street.

The year-end spring barbecue and dance (2009) will be held in Port Williams on Saturday, 13 June. The barbecue will be at the home of Edna MacLean and the dance will follow in the school (on Belcher St.).  The barbecue will be lit at 4 p.m., dancing to start at 7 p.m. in the St. James Anglican Church Hall (the church on the corner of Church Street and Highway 358 to Canning).  Valley dancers will bring salads, rolls, desserts, drinks - everyone bring your preferred food for the barbecue and cutlery and crockery (it helps with the clean-up!)  For directions to Edna's house in on Church St, Port Williams:
