This Saturday, July 1, we'll start with extra waltzing before the contra dances, and follow that with the usual instruction/refresher lesson. That will be taught by Liz Nelson, our caller for the evening. Come by 7:00 for the waltzing, which will happen until 7:45. The contra lesson will start then, with contras from 8:00 to 11:00. The same great band will play for waltzes and contras: Oliver Scanlon (fiddle & mandolin), Rose Jackson (more fiddle!), and Tristan Henderson (guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, jaw harp, and whatever else he brings along). This is a powerhouse band!

Come to dance, as usual, at the Capital City Grange Hall, 6612 VT-12, Berlin VT 05602, just one mile south of Montpelier.

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 revised COVID protocols--this dance will be the first with masks optional. We encourage mask-wearing by anyone who wants to, but will no longer require masks. If you feel sick, please stay away and join us at our next dance.

If you like waltzing, please make an additional contribution to help us pay the band for the extra time!

Contra 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!
