"O body swayed to music, O brightening glance, How can we know the dancer from the dance?"

- William Butler Yeats, "Among School Children"

"Any problem in the world can be solved by dancing."

- James Brown

"You've gotta' dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth. (And speak from the heart to be heard.)"

- William W. Purkey

Community contra dances

for kids, teens and grownups of all ages!

For more information please contact Ruth at 967-9917, or e-mail us here.

Our community dances are an all-volunteer effort. We especially need your help at the dance with set-up, staffing the greeting table, and clean-up; and in advance with gathering door prizes and spreading the word through flyers, e-mails, etc. If you can help out, please contact Ruth at 967-9917, or e-mail us here.

Date	Location	Band	Caller

Teens, tweens, and kids of all ages enjoy dancing to live music and callers including circle dances, square dances, contra dances and just plain playful dances. This series is designed for us all to build a community together—young people, older people and our families. Our regular "community/family contra dances" welcome all ages, and our "community/youth contra dances" are geared a little older, especially for tweens, teens and up.

No experience is necessary because each dance is taught and figures are called throughout the dance. Beginners are celebrated! Bring your family, your friends, even your grandparents!

Live Music * Prizes * Food * Games * Singing * Fun !

Taking Food Together

Community dances often feature potlucks or special snacks and refreshments as a way to refresh our bodies and get to know one another. If a dance features a potluck, please bring a generous amount of healthy food to keep our energy high. Drinks are provided. Check the schedule to see what is planned for each dance.
