Inertia for your feet!
Captivating and passionate, that's how we like to serve up our dance tunes. Come lose yourself in the surreal sounds of electric fiddle, swirling didgeridoo, driving guitar and foot percussion. This power duo, perched at the convergence of electronic and traditional dance music, is solely the bi-product of two musicians who love to groove and inspire movement.

All are welcome! No partner or experience necessary. PLEASE BRING: Your own water bottle, and separate dancing shoes from your street shoes

AED UPDATE, January 2010

As you know, immediately following Lee Stover's June 2009 heart attack (and, thanks to many people & an AED, his recovery!!) we swiftly began a fundraising campaign to obtain an AED for the dance series. At that dance, we received $203 in the donation jar; a generous and terrific start.

We then contacted the leadership at the American Legion Post #43 to inquire about installing an AED, procured by BFS, in their hall. After deliberation, the Legion leadership declined our offer to house/take ownership of the proposed AED.

Since housing an AED at the Legion is not an option, after much discussion and consideration, the BFS Committee has decided to use the $203 in existing funds to host CPR/AED Training at the Legion for interested members of our dance community. We feel this honors the spirit of the initial donations because it broadens our community's knowledge of CPR and AED use, the very things that helped save Lee's life. From a wider perspective, those newly-trained individuals would take that knowledge with them to all of the other dances and events they attend.

If you would be interested in taking a CPR/AED class, hosted by Belfast Flying Shoes and taught by a certified teacher such as the American Red Cross, please email us at belfastflyingshoes@gmail.com so that we might get an idea of how many we need to plan to accommodate, and so that we will have your contact information to let you know as our class comes to fruition.

Thank you,
Annadeene, Chrissy, Phyllis, & Tom
The Belfast Flying Shoes Committee
