Oh yes, people, that’s right — the Ponderosa Tanzland Festival is hoving into view, from July 5. to 18.! Like a new colour in the spectrum, melting minds, throwing off sparks of performative possibility, bending light in strange new ways, altering consciousnesses throughout the universe — and hurtling our way, like the rosy-fingered Stolzenhagen dawn on a summer morning.
Come out for a week — or the other week — or just a weekend — or the whole time! The festival time in July will shimmer in the heat, and and it will be bunched together in four main events. You can attend any one of these, or you can sign up for a special combo and luxuriate in them all...
