Festival-like activities, food,etc. on Lewis with the Evening culminating in a large, live-band, dance-music Street Dance. But we can't do it by ourselves. We need your help. Whether you're part of a dance group who may be interested in providing demonstrations or workshops or you just love to dance and want to help organize the event, join us on the 27th to find out how you can participate.
