We sponsor traditional New England contra dances every Thursday from 8 - 11 PM and English country dances 1st & 3rd Sundays from 7:30 - 10 PM. Our dances are participatory & open to all, with live music, and smoke and alcohol free. Newcomers are always welcome. Dances are taught and prompted, with more teaching at the beginning of the evening. No partner or special dress needed -- dress comfortably and wear soft-soled, low-heeled shoes. Admission is $7 ($6 members, $1 off for seniors & students).
