Community Contra Dance on Sat, Jan 13, 7:30-10:30pm at First Congregational Church, W’town.

Admission is pay-as-you can with a $12-20 suggested.  Masks required. Caller Paul Rosenberg, specializes in helping newcomers discover dancing. He will open the evening with simpler dances appropriate for novices & families with children. The calling will be gender-neutral.

Local musicians, Eric Buddington, Seamus Connor, and Jimmy Bergin enjoy tweaking the traditional jigs and reels with collaborative improvisations and forays into ragtime and other adjacent genres.  Their music will be lively, cheerful, and, above all, a delight to dancers.
Health precautions:  Masks required.  For this first post-holiday dance in a season of rising respiratory illness, NBCD has chosen to require masks on the dance floor. (Performers may go unmasked while on stage.)  Be aware that, whoever your partner, you’ll wind up dancing with everyone in the room. You may wish to bring a spare mask to change into for comfort throughout the evening.
