  - name: Family Dance
    details: "This is a special dance for anyone else who would enjoy some daytime frolicking with people of all ages! While all our events are family-friendly, this one will feature dances especially well-suited to the youngest members of the community. We will enjoy the energetic and inclusive leadership of Adina Gordon, and the same great live music we have for the Friday dances! \nEveryone is welcome, and all dances are taught, and easily learned, even if you’ve never danced before! Admission is on a sliding scale, $5-10, or you can bring some finger-food refreshments to share at the break; water is provided, or bring your own water bottle. Masks are welcomed but not required, and we’ll have the windows open for ventilation."
