Dancing

The Capital City Grange is one of the best dance halls in New England.

The main hall features a smooth Vermont maple floor and a stage for musicians.   There are  weekly and bi-weekly dance events at the hall that are open to all, including Contra dances and Afro-Caribbean dance.   There are also many one-time public or private dance events (including weddings and proms), dance lessons, dance performances, dance parties and more.

 

To get a taste of the dance, we invite you to look at the above YouTube video that shows a one-minute clip of a dance. In this video you can hear the quality of the music and witness that the room is filled with enthusiastic dancers! 


Please bring your favorite dance genre to the Grange Hall (or add more contra dances!) by starting a dance series or hosting an event. Contact the Grange Rental Agent for more information.

Contra dancing at the Capital City Grange hall started some time in the 1970’s. The Contra Dance Umbrella organizes a dance series that draws an average of 150 dancers every other Saturday to participate in this long-standing New England traditional dancing to live calling and music. The CDU dance series at the Capital City Grange Hall is considered one of the best in the country and draws an intergenerational crowd.

While the majority of the dancers come from within an hour of the hall, performers travel from around the region and many an intrepid dancer will also drive two hours or more to attend these “hot” dances.
