The Cabot Community Contra Dance, which has been hibernating for the past three years, will be returning this spring to the Willey Building! Since the Den has live music on Saturdays these days, we're moving the dance to 2nd Fridays, on April 14, May 12, and June 9th, 7:30-10pm, with a short intro session for new folks at 7:15.

The Cabot dance will feature a variety of callers and musicians, who will each bring something a bit different to the experience. We are still in the process of reinventing the dance, and we are striving to make it as inclusive and welcoming as possible, using input from the community survey we conducted in 2021.

Admission is on a sliding scale, $5-10, or you can bring some finger-food refreshments to share at the break! Bring your water bottle, or water and cups will be available. Masks are welcomed but not required, and we'll be able to open the lovely large windows in the hall (3084 Main St, Cabot VT) for good ventilation!

Everyone is welcome, and anyone can dance with anyone, generally changing partners with each dance. You can come to the dance alone, with a friend or sweetheart, or your whole family! All dances are taught, but if you've never been to a dance, you are encouraged to arrive for the 7:15 session, when we will have time to practice a few basics, and then we'll build upon what you learn throughout the evening.

Hope to see you at the dance!
