Please join us for dancing and fun at the Capital City Grange Hall on Saturday evening! We'll start with the usual instruction/refresher lesson. Ben Sachs-Hamilton, our caller for the evening, will go over some of the basics, starting about 7:40. If you are new to contra dancing, come by 7:30 so you can clean your shoes off or change them for the lesson. Contra dancing for everyone will happen from 8:00 to 11:00; Ben will teach each dance, all evening. The excellent live music for this dance will be provided by Calico, a trio of excellent musicians from Massachusetts, including Eric Boodman (fiddle and feet), Casey Murray (cello) and Jesse Ball (guitars with 6 and 12 strings, accordion and mandolin). There are lots of friendly folks to dance with.
Come to dance, as usual, at the Capital City Grange Hall, 6612 VT-12, Berlin VT 05602, just one mile south of Montpelier.
If you've been to our wonderful dance series before, consider this a reminder. If you've always wanted to check out contra dancing, this will be a great time to give it a try. We encourage mask-wearing by anyone who wants to (and we'll provide free masks), but we longer require them. If you don't feel well, please stay away and join us at our next dance. We suggest light, comfortable clothing (you'll warm up dancing!), and bring a water bottle. And please bring clean, soft-soled shoes to help us protect our beautiful VT maple dance floor!
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! Beginners, singles and al areas are welcome.
