Contra Dance!
The Montpelier Contra Dance is excited to announce that we will be restarting our dance series, beginning Saturday, April 16, 2022, from 8–11 pm! We are scheduling dances on May 7, May 21, June 4 and June 18 as well, with hopes to continue dancing into the summer if the restart goes well.
Contra dancing is joyful and community oriented — and it always involves some risk. We are requiring that all dancers wear masks and be fully vaccinated to help keep our dance safer while COVID is still afoot. We ask for your help and cooperation with these extra safety measures. Full COVID details at: capitalcitygrange.org/dancing/contradancing
Our dance uses gender-neutral role terms, and we strive to be a safe place for everyone to dance. Beginners, singles, and all ages are welcome; all dances are taught.
When: 1st and 3rd Saturdays, 8–11 p.m: newcomers lesson offered around 7:40 pm
Where: at the Capital City Grange in Berlin (located on Northfield Street/Route 12 just south of the I-89 overpass),
Cost: Admission is $12 for adults, $5 for kids or low-income, $20 for dance supporters–choose the right price for your budget!
What to bring: We suggest light, comfortable clothing — expect to wear short sleeves or a tank top, even in winter. Please bring clean, soft-soled shoes to preserve our floor.
