Calendar

Dances normally run 7:30 to 11:00pm. The fee is usually $10, students $6. But we also take less if that's what you can afford. We do pass a bucket for our live music fund, and you can ask the person at the door about sponsoring future dances.

We recommend first time dancers:

• Come early, say 7:15, and introduce yourself. Someone may show you some moves and terms just to help you be a bit more comfortable. Nevertheless contra dancing is easy for people with two left feet. Dances become progressively more difficult as the evening progresses, so again, come early.
• Please bring clean, comfortable, soft-soled shoes to change into after you arrive. Gritty shoes harm our aging floor, and create airborne dust as the finish is worn down.
• Dress light. This is aerobic exercise. Experienced dancers may wear skirts, shorts and bring changes of tee shirts. Do not wear sweaters except for between-dance warming up.
• Don't wear scented products. Some of our dancers are chemically sensitive, and can become ill when exposed to these things..

Help Us

We run our dances with volunteer help: you! The board manages the hard parts but we do need volunteers for easy jobs every dance:

• Hall setup (2 positions)—6:30 to 7:15—plus get into the dance free
• Greeter and Door sitter (1 position)—7:15 to break—plus get into your next dance free
• Announcer (1 position)—just before break

We also need people to stay around at the end to tear down and clean up. If you want to learn how to operate the sound board, contact a board member.
