“Before Us”
10/10/2025 - 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm at Firehouse Performing Arts Center
1314 Harris Avenue
Kuntz and Company’s newest work, “Before Us,” is at the Firehouse Arts & Events Center in Bellingham on October 9th & 10th at 7:30pm and October 11th & 12th at 5:00pm.
From the event producers:
This production is a dance theatre piece that explores how we naviage, manage, and survive what is to come with grace and humility. Not as merely spectators of our lives, the performers dive into images of what came before and what is coming next while engaging in a journey across the stage. Ian Bivins, Cara Congelli, Atlas Hovdesven, Ingrid Hurlen, and Pam Kuntz have discovered community, relationships, and humor are at the core of both the stories shared and their creative process. With Richard Scholtz’s recordings of sounds of the world adding layers of humanity to the score, BEFORE US is a playful release of frustrations and fears while traveling into a glorious win…the win we all really need right now.

FREE Scottish Country Dance Class
10/11/2025 - 10:00 am - 12:00 pm at Littlefield Celtic Center
1124 Cleveland Ave
You’re invited to a FREE Scottish Country Dance Class on Saturday, October 11th from 10am-12pm at the Littlefield Celtic Center in Mount Vernon.
SCD classes at Littlefield Celtic Center are general, multi-level sessions with some step practice and teaching of dances. Once we have a feeling for the make-up of the class, we’d like to focus on beginners and inexperienced dancers for the first 45 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of general social dancing for everyone, and we’ll end with 45 minutes of focus for more experienced dancers.
Beginners are most welcome; we would like to work using a building-block approach where we will review and build on skills learned in the previous class. The goals of RSCDS include “Fun, Fitness, Friendship.” If this sounds appealing, then SCD is for you! If you enjoy dancing socially to wonderful, traditional music, if you would like to try dancing in a team (set) with six or eight other dancers, if you think you might enjoy some energetic but graceful and elegant dancing—with a little bit of courtliness thrown in—then this is for you!
No partner or special clothing is needed. Loose and comfortable is the best. Women often wear skirts (not a requirement). Soft-soled shoes, such as ballet or jazz shoes allow you to move around the floor with ease and to point your toe, but don’t let that prevent you from giving SCD a try.
Bring a cheerful smile, a willingness to listen, and a desire to “have a go”! We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!
