Saturday, Aug. 20th will bring another fun contra dance, with a live band and a great caller. This time around, we'll have the ever-popular Luke Donforth calling, with music by Dave Langford, Glen Loper and Kristen Planeaux. As always, the dances will be at the Capital City Grange Hall, about 1 mile south of Montpelier at 6612 VT 12, Berlin VT 05602 for GPS directions.

Our dances start with an "intro" session for first time dancers, and anyone who wants a "refresher", starting about 7:40 PM, with the full dance starting at 8:00 PM, and continuing to 11:00. There will be a wide variety of folks to partner and dance with, all ages well-represented in our welcoming dance community! If you are new to contra dancing, you can see videos of past dances on the Grange website: http://capitalcitygrange.org/dancing/contradancing/.

Admission is $12 for adults, $5 for kids and low-income folks, and some "dance supporters" give us $20 to help us pay the callers, musicians and sound folks well. We appreciate everyone who comes!

COVID details: While we no longer require proof of vaccination, we do require everyone to wear well-fitting, good quality N95, KN94/KN95 or medical/surgical masks. We'll give you one if you need it! We also collect names and email addresses for contact information, just in case.
