Please join us for dancing and fun at the Capital City Grange Hall on Saturday night. We'll be starting off with a lesson for newcomers about 7:30 PM, followed by dancing from 8:00 to 11:00.

Vermont caller Luke Donforth, who has called across the state, the region and the U.S. will teach the newcomers' session, and also will teach and call the dances for the whole evening. You can find out more at: http://www.madrobincallers.org/collectivecallers/luke/ Hot, swinging live music will be provided by "the Figments", featuring Ethan Hazzard-Watkins on fiddle, Anna Patton on clarinet and Owen Morrison on guitar. Vermont-based, the band and the musicians also play across the region and the country. Check out their websites for samples of their music and more information: http://www.ethanhw.com/, www.annapatton.com and www.owenmorrison.com. You can see them playing for many dances on Youtube as well--one is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPB0bQjQV1c Contra dances are 1st, 3rd, and 5th Saturdays at 8 PM at the Capital City Grange Hall in Berlin (located on Northfield Street/Route 12 just south of the I-89 overpass), 8–11 p.m. Admission is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for kids or low-income, $15.00 for dance supporters–choose the right price for your budget!
