SAXTONS RIVER — Main Street Arts will hold a family dance on Saturday, May 5, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The dance will feature square, circle, and line dances for kids of all ages, from toddlers to grandparents. No experience is needed, and all dances will be taught. Andy Toepfer is the caller, with music provided by the Main Street Arts String Band.
The dance is held as part of Screen-Free Week (formerly TV-Turnoff Week), an annual event in which children, families, schools, and communities are encouraged to turn off screens and “turn on life.” Instead of relying on television, computers, and electronic devices for entertainment, participants are encouraged to read, daydream, explore, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends.
Admission is by donation, with $2 suggested.
Now in its 24th year, Main Street Arts is a nonprofit community arts center dedicated to serving the creative needs of the greater community by encouraging creative exploration and expression through a wide range of experiences.
