The Jane Austen club is having their Harvest Ball on Oct 18. It's downtown. Find something pretty to wear and come! http://www.jasnakc.org/jane-austen-regency-ball.html
Of course, we have the monthly dance in Lawrence... It's going to be 4th Sundays instead of 3rd Sundays for August, September, and October. Jill and I are talking about putting together an advanced dance sometime on the second weekend of Sept. Will update the blog when I know when/where. http://www.kansasfolk.org/english/
St Louis is having a Contra/English dance weekend on Labor Day weekend. I go every year for English dance on Saturdays... there are two workshops and an evening ball on Aug 30. You should come! http://www.childgrove.org/hightea
Fairfield is having their Bare Necessities Advanced Dance weekend in Fairfield, IA. It's about the same distance as St Louis. Whole weekend of dancing, and it's so much fun to dance with really good dancers. http://fairfolk.org/node/59
