<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 15, 2013) Saratoga Springs is known for its mineral springs, race track and Revolutionary War battles, but it&apos;s also a popular gathering spot for those who love social dancing.  Thousands gather for a &quot;flurry&quot; of dancing and music at the Saratoga City Center each Presidents&apos; Day weekend.   The annual Dance Flurry Festival is celebrating its 26th anniversary this weekend.   You&apos;ll find dancers of all ages enjoying everything from African to Zydeco.Originally, it was a one-day event near Albany back in 1987.  Since then, the Flurry, as it&apos;s called, has evolved into a three-day winter gathering, drawing musicians, teachers, callers, volunteers, and of course, dancers from across the country.    Todd Moe stopped by the event last February and found thousands enjoying wall-to-wall music and dance.
