First Montpelier Contra dance for 2023

This Saturday, Jan. 7, you're invited to the first Montpelier Contra Dance of the new year. As usual, at the Capital City Grange Hall, 6612 VT-12, Berlin VT 05602, just one mile south of Montpelier, from 8-11 PM, with an instruction/refresher session starting about 7:40.

Starting off 2023, we have Ben Sachs-Hamilton calling, with music by a great duo, Cedar Stanistreet & Everest Witman, on fiddle and guitar! These two have played at the dance many times, with each other and in other groups, and always provide tunes that will get you on your feet.

We always love to have new folks join us! If you haven't been to a contra dance, check out the videos of folks dancing in the Grange Hall at: http://capitalcitygrange.org/dancing/contradancing/. You'll also see our COVID protocols--we require good masks: N95, KN95/KF94 or medical/surgical masks. Please bring your own, we'll have a few extras if needed. If you feel sick, please stay away and join us at our next dance.

Admission prices: $12 for adults, $5 for kids & low-income folks, or be a "dance supporter" and give us $20, to help us pay the wonderful callers, musicians and sound techs for the great work they do. We appreciate everyone who comes, whatever you pay!
