Porch View Dances

Way, way, way back in February, I let you know that you could apply to be part of this year's Porch View Dances in Seaton Village.
Well, this weekend is the slated time for area residents to dance on their porches, in their yards and with their families.
It's the brainchild of Kaeja Dance and it was an instant hit when it began a few years ago.
Check it out!
