Contra Dance: Nils Fredland & Gaslight Tinkers Saturday

Past event
May 20, 2023, 7:30 to 11 PM

We'll have another great contra dance this Saturday.  This dance will feature another of our favorite dance callers, Nils Fredland, and the ever-popular Gaslight Tinkers for your dancing enjoyment!   Nils is known for his excellent teaching and supportive calling; the Tinkers bring African, Reggae, Funk and Latin grooves around a core of traditional New England Old Time & Celtic music.  

Come to dance, 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.

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!
