Will Mentor will call great dances, and we'll have great live music with the Russet Trio for the dance at the Grange on Saturday! Will is always a favorite caller at our dances, known for clear teaching and interesting dances. The Russet Trio features Stuart Kenney on stand-up bass and banjo, Peter Water Madsen on guitar and percussion, and Aldo Lavaggi on fiddle. Their great repertoire of tunes includes old-time, Celtic and Scandinavian-influenced music, and will keep your feet moving!

Will will teach an instruction/refresher session starting about 7:40, so aim to get to the Capital City Grange Hall about 7:30 to change your shoes, or clean them really well to protect our beautiful dance floor. The Grange Hall is located at 6612 VT 12, Berlin VT 05602, about 1 mile south of Montpelier. We'll have dancing from 8:00 to 11:00 PM, with a brief break midway through. Come with your friends, or come alone--there are lots of folks to partner with in this friendly social dance community! If it's your first contra dance, we'll be especially glad to see you.

Admission: choose the price that matches you--$12 for regular adult-type people, $5 for kids or low-income people, or $20 if you want to help us pay the band, caller and sound really well!
