Saturday Contra with Will Mentor & Stomp Rocket!
Will Mentor, a Vermont-based caller who travels around the country for contra dance festivals, will be leading the "newcomers" session at about 7:45 PM, and will call fun, social dances for everyone from 8:00 to 11:00. If you are new to this type of dancing, or would like a refresher on the basics, come on over for the intro session.
Stomp Rocket will get your feet off the floor with "beaucoup de stomp"! Dave Langford playing fiddle, Glen Loper on mandolin and Bethany Waickman with guitar will keep the tunes 'n' dance rhythms going.
Tips for dancers: bring clean shoes for dancing on "one of the best dance floors in New England", or clean them up with our tools. Wear light, comfortable clothing. Bring a water bottle, or keep hydrated with our water fountains. Come by yourself and find dance partners in our friendly group, and bring your friends!
Capital City Grange Hall is at 6612 Rt. 12, just south of the I-89 overpass, 1 mile south of Montpelier. Admission—basic price is $10 for adults, but $5 for kids & low-income.
