Open to Lexington residents of all ages!

What do you get when you combine Lexington’s rich history, its diverse community, and a DJ?  Come find out at the “300th Dance around the World”.  
 
As part of the Lexington 300th Incorporation Weekend activities, this special event promises to be one-of-a-kind and will be held on March 16, 2013 at LHS from 6:00-10:30 pm.  Please wear comfortable shoes, your ethnic clothes and be prepared to dance the night away!  Thanks to the generous sponsorship of
Capstone Mortgage, the event is free!

The evening is packed with exciting segments and there is something for everyone!  There are Classical/Folk dance performances where you can learn and practice some new dance moves from around the world followed by a high energy,  DJ led dance party with LHS student leading some of the popular dances.  There is even a unique fusion dance that highlights how music bridges across cultures.  You can visit cultural booths from our diverse community and enjoy delicious ethnic food. 
Click here to print the flyer all event details. Make sure to tell your friends and neighbors and bring them along!

We are also looking for volunteers.  Planning an event this large requires a lot of help in coordination, decoration, setup, and clean up!  Please consider assisting us and bring a friend if you can.  You will be a part of Lexington’s history and make new friends and if you are an LHS student, volunteering and get community service hours!  The shifts average about 1.5 hour each, so you will still have plenty of time to dance. 
Click here to sign up.

Please contact the organizers of the “300th Dance Around the World”,
Melanie Lin at or Geetha Padaki if you have any questions.
