Join first-timers and experienced dancers for Community Dances with live music every Tuesday, and occasional other nights. Traditional acoustic bands and kind dance leaders are a great intro to community dance forms. If new to set-dancing, come early for simple walkthroughs and instruction on the easier dances. Century-old traditional dances are taught and have folks holding hands and smiling in no time. You can expect CONTRAS, SQUARES, CIRCLES, LINES and other traditional and modern PARTNER dance forms from various cultures. No pressure to dance, and there are willing dance partners as we switch throughout the evening. No special attire is required, though clean hard soled shoes make it easier. Our focus is on traditional music and dance, but watching, jamming, playing games, crafting, and other pastimes are welcomed and encouraged. There is a family friendly space in the Library, but we do ask that kids not be given free rein. Sitting in to play with the band in the "second line" is encouraged if space allows and hired musicians approve when asked. A donation of $5-15 per adult is suggested for most events, but all are welcome regardless of contribution. We'd love your support as a volunteer too!
