Once again the Old Town Hall in Huntington Center will ring with the sounds of fiddle, accordion, flute, guitar, mandolin, banjos and more on Sept 30th when the monthly Contra & Square Dance resumes again. All dances are preceded by a walk-through and no prior experience is needed. Bring both left feet and kick up your heels with your neighbors ! Come alone or bring your friends. This first dance of the season will be a rare evening of music and dancing--more of a dance party than ever to celebrate the visit of my friends from the Netherlands. Annelies and her daughter Bregje on fiddle and accordion will be joining forces with Sarah and John's Megaband Jam-- an open band that was a grand success at last year's dances. Bring your instruments and your comfortable dancing shoes. All are welcome to sit in the evening band under the skillful guidance of Sarah and John. For a special treat, from 4:30 -6:30 that afternoon Annelies and Bregje will lead a music workshop like the ones they lead around Europe, offering up a few of their favorite tunes from northern European traditions that will be played that night for the dancing. Quite likely they will have a surprise or two up their sleeve! Following the workshop will be a potluck dinner downstairs preceding the evening dance at 7:30. All are welcome to attend any or all of this event. Admission by donation at the door and no one will be turned away. Even if you can't dance you can come hold down one of the fine chairs that line the room to enjoy watching the dancers swirl, smile and swing, Please come out to welcome my wonderfully talented friends from a far off shore. (For more information about the afternoon workshop, the potluck or the evening dance contact Lausanne Allen 453-2199.
