Musicians Pali Matej, violin; Sue Polansky, clarinet; and Robin Russell, piano, will raise our spirits and quicken our steps with their matchless music. \nWe open with the workshop, then a short break, and end with a joyful dance party, in which one good turn deserves another (and another, and another. . .). \n$20 (members), $25 (nonmembers)"
