Young & Lovely give an engaging and joyfully theatrical performance that invites the audience to be transported back in time to the days of Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. The sisters are always dressed to the nines and enjoy engaging with audience members through coy comments and enthusiastic performing.

DANCE EXCHANGE
If you are traveling to Humboldt from outside the area, we may be able to connect you with local dancers who can host you for the weekend. There is a section of the registration page you can complete if you are interested. We cannot guarantee that everyone will get assigned local housing that needs it, but we will do our best!
LUNCHTIME
We will have a 45-minute lunch break on Saturday and a 30-minute lunch break on Sunday. We encourage these lunch options:
- Bring your own lunch
- North Coast Co-op (811 I St Arcata, 5-min walk): to-go food, hot bar, deli, sushi
- Slice of Humboldt Pie (660 K St Arcata, 5-min walk): empanadas
- Note: The Pub at The Creamery is in the same building as the dance studio, but their food takes a long time to make and you may be late to the next class!
Please direct any additional questions to Julia Clark
