Here's a gallery of 26 photos from the 2008 weekend.

Chris and I have been fortunate to have hosted and/or overseen many dance weekends at the Sierra Club's Harwood Lodge, at Mt. Baldy, north of Claremont, CA. Here's a writeup of lodge's history by Mary Morales and an article I wrote for Folk Dance Scene around 1984. In recent years we've overseen Contradance, Scandinavian and Scottish dance weekends.
