The next dance in the "Montpelier Contra Dance" series will be this Saturday, February 16.. There will be a newcomers' instruction session at about 7:30, led by the dance caller Luke Donforth, then 3 hours of fun dancing starting at 8:00.   Music will be provided by Brendan Taaffe on guitar, banjo, and maybe fiddle, with Joanne Garton on fiddle.

Contra dances with great live callers and bands like these are presented on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturday evenings, at the Capital City Grange Hall in Berlin.  The Hall is located 6612 Rt. 12 (aka Northfield St), Berlin VT 05602 just south of the I-89 overpass, a mile from downtown Montpelier.    Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for kids and low-income.  Or be a dance supporter and pay a bit more--all of the money goes to the caller, the band, and the sound person, plus rent to the Grange.

We suggest light, comfortable clothing, clean soft-soled shoes to protect the beautiful dance floor, and a water bottle to keep hydrated.  Come by yourself and find partners at the dance, or bring your friends! http://capitalcitygrange.org/dancing/contradancing
