Family Dance 063

Circles, mixers, longways, squares, and other set dances.


All dances taught and called
with high-energy live string band music!
(Musicians, if you would like more information about
playing with the open band, please, send a quick message).
Family Dance 046

This dance is aimed at beginning dancers and families with children.
All ages welcome; no experience necessary.
 If you're looking for a friendly, no-pressure atmosphere
to enjoy easy dances with solid teaching, this is it!

Children must be accompanied by an adult,
but adults do NOT need to be accompanied by a child.

It is great fun to dance with children and watch the wonder unfold.
These easy dances are a good intro for adults before diving into modern contra dances at other venues.

(For safety reasons, non-dancing children need to stay off the dance floor.
Parents' assistance is requested in this matter).
Admission is free;
donations appreciated but not expected.

Bring a friend! Your child will have even more fun if they have a buddy whom they already know.
young dancers
  • We suggest comfortable casual clothing and
    closed-toed supportive shoes with a slick sole (as opposed to good tread).
    Avoid rubber-soled athletic shoes.

  • Please bring a water bottle!
