Please join us for dancing and fun at the Capital City Grange Hall on Saturday night November 2. We'll be starting off with a lesson for newcomers about 7:30 PM, followed by dancing from 8:00 to 11:00.

Well known caller Nils Fredland, 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.

Riptide describes their music as "wicked good" traditional music for contra dances. One of the most energetic contra dance bands on the scene today, they love the tunes they play, and their repertoire contains literally hundreds of tunes from New England, Quebec, Ireland, Appalachia, and a few other places.
Special note for the Montpelier dance--guitarist Owen grew up dancing at our dance--always a pleasure to have him back.
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--additional contributions are welcome, and will increase the amount the band and caller get paid! We suggest light, comfortable clothing, and bring a water bottle to refill at our water fountain/bottle filler. And please bring clean, soft-soled shoes, to help us protect our beautiful dance floor.

Questions? call Tim Swartz at 802-225-8921 for more info, or see the Contra Dancing page on the Grange website: http://capitalcitygrange.org/dancing/contradancing/ .
