Dance your socks off! Hot dance on Saturday!!

Join us on April 15th for a fun and welcoming contra dance! It will happen, 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, with dancing from 8:00 to 11:00.

Alexandra Deis-Lauby will be our caller, teaching and calling the dances, with music by "River Road". This group includes Kristen Planeaux on keyboard and flute, Jesse Ball on guitar, accordion and feet, and Sarah-Hadley Yakir on fiddle.

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. Choose what price matches your resources. We're happy to have everyone who comes, whatever you pay!
