Dance Flurry
Scheduling made the February contradance arrive every year near Williams' [[Winter Carnival]] and Valentine's Day. The former was used in billing the February dance until 2003, when Jonathan decided to try his hand at adding a theme to a previously themeless dance. He chose [[Currier ballroom]] and enhanced that space's romantic ambiance with decorations. As a crowning touch, three dozen roses were saved as a surprise for the final waltz, and then placed in the teeth of the girl in each couple as they danced. This tradition continued for years after, though crappy funding from the [[Cosponsorship Fund]] required the substition of carnations in 2005.

Very close to the Valentine's Day dance, sometimes even the morning after, the Folk travel together to big folk dance festival in Saratoga Springs, the [http://www.danceflurry.org Dance Flurry]. About a dozen Folk attend, and the club provides trasportation through college vans and private cars. Many years, the club has been able to stay the night(s) with friends at Skidmore, once in exchange for holding a (rather poorly attended) dance for their dance club.
