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 Don Stratton, who has called across the state and the region, will teach the newcomers' session, and also will teach and call the dances for the whole evening. Don has been part of the Mad Robin Callers' Collective, a VT based group that has brought together local people who want to improve their contra dance calling. He also plays fiddle with the Red Dog Riley dance band! Hot, swinging live music will be provided by "Audrey and Clayton", featuring Audrey Budington on fiddle, and Clayton Clemetson on piano. These New England-based musicians play across the region and the country.
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! We suggest light, comfortable clothing, and bring a water bottle to refill at our water fountain/bottle filler. Please bring clean, soft-soled shoes to help us protect our beautiful dance floor.
This dance series is presented by the Contra Dance Umbrella (CDU), volunteers who want to share the fun. We are a friendly and open dance community! Beginners, singles, and all ages are welcome; all dances are taught. Whoever you are, we invite you to come share the joy of dancing with us! Capital City Grange Hall is at 6612 Rt. 12, Berlin VT 05602. It's about 1 mile south of Montpelier, just beyond the I-89 overpass if you are coming from Montpelier.
