Nov 7 - Framiversary Party - Free Admission! Request Night! Dance Contest!

Happy birthday Frim Fram! We don't know a better way to celebrate 23 years of Fram and all of YOU than having the party be FREE. So we are doing it!

In lieu of admission, we are asking everyone to donate to the Black Lindy Hoppers Fund to help support their mission to provide assistance to established and developing dancers, musicians, researchers and community builders endeavoring to be of greater service to community members of African and African diasporic heritage.

Once again we will bring the power of music to our community with an ever-popular Request Night! DJ Ryan Swift will be accepting your requests ahead of time, and in person. NO BANANAPHONE!

We are also bringing back our somewhat-annual dance contest with insane prizes! Format, judges, and prizes will be announced as we get closer to the event. (Grand Prize is FREE admission to Fram for a YEAR!)

Let there be cake! We will have enough Red Velvet for everyone, as tradition dictates.

Drop-in lesson at 8:30pm w/ Cari Westbrook will be FREE, as always!

We can't wait to see you there!
