Tranky Doo Refresher

Saturday | 8:00-8:30 PM | The Fed Mansion > The Landing

As you know, the ALX 2025 theme is Tuxedo Junction. Sometimes the Tranky Doo is danced to this tune, so why not take full advantage of that! Need a quick brush-up? Head up to the Fed Mansion landing for a Tranky Doo run-through! We’ll review the steps a few times so everyone’s ready to dance it together with the band later that night. (The Landing is the space just straight up the stairs as you walk into the Fed Mansion)

 

Park Picnic

Sunday | 4:00-6:00 PM | Central Market Park past the jungle gym

After the Band Jam, let’s keep the vibes going outside! Join us in the park next door for a laid-back picnic with blankets, yard games, and plenty of sunshine. Expect bocce ball, frisbees, and good company. Grab snacks, drinks, or anything from Central Market. No driving required. Just walk past the jungle gym towards the fountain.

 

Yoga & Stretching

Sunday | 6:00-7:00pm | The Fed Mansion > Art Gallery

So. Much. Dancing. You deserve a good stretch. Unwind with an hour of yoga and stretching led by our one and only Holly Kiang. Free, relaxing, and perfect after a day of dancing. Bring water and a mat or towel if you want.

 

Piano Singalong

Sunday | 10:00-10:30pm | The Fed Mansion > Dining Room/Grand Piano Area

It’s tradition! At the close of ALX, we gather around the piano to sing, play, and celebrate together. Share your favorite tunes, take turns on the keys, and let’s end the weekend on a high note. 

Things to keep in mind: 

  • Be mindful of how long your turn is at the keys. Others likely want to play too.

  • Try to play songs that everyone can sing to. The good ol crowd pleasers are always the most fun!
