This is the perfect occasion to "gather round," play, notice the year past and put on your new year dancing shoes.
Cynthia Winton-Henry and Phil Porter weave InterPlay's delightful blend of story sharing, playful moving, and uplifted voice into magical moments of laughter and depth that lead to SInging and 
Dancing in the Dark, a Pine Branch Spiral Dance that honors 2014 and help us wind our way into 2015
On the party side, you can learn the new InterPlay hit form: "Push Pull Swoosh" aka Fake Ballroom Dancing. Who knew you could ballroom dance without knowing your right from your left. Learn how and then join the after party that will showcase Fake Ballroom Exhibitions! Who can resist that?
And then there's Meal Having: A new old form that calls forth the culinary joy of players who love to dazzle each other with food for all to Have! (aka potluck)
(You can come for any part...but why would you miss any of this wonderful event celebrating the 25th Solstice of InterPlay!)
