Get a Discount on Renewing Your DFO Membership Now - Many of our dance events do not make money; they need to be subsidized by the DFO to continue operating. We try to keep admission costs low in order to attract as many dancers as possible. Your DFO membership helps us sponsor DFO dance series, the Flurry Festival, the Adirondack Weekend and a host of other local dance activities that you can enjoy year-round. If you haven’t renewed your DFO membership yet, now is a good time to do it. Take advantage of our ½ year, ½ price offer. Fill out the membership form at: http://www.danceflurry.org/new/membershipform.pdf and mail it back to us. Thanks!
You could be in Movies! You may be dancing on a YouTube video and not even know it. Browse some Flurry Festival YouTube videos from our homepage (www.danceflurry.org) and see if you can spot yourself and your friends dancing or playing music.
We’re looking to collect some good videos of local DFO dance events. If you have a video of a local DFO dance event and would like to share it with the community, let us know. (send email to address at bottom of page)
Summer Events - As there are fewer DFO dance events during the summer, it is a good time to take advantage of dances, dance camps and festivals further afield.
