Our rotating Vermont callers use gender-free terminology, with music provided by The Usual Suspects, a great group of local musicians, and sit-ins are welcome! We have a lovely wooden-floored space in the Cabot Town Hall.  \nAdmission is on a sliding scale, $5-10 suggested, but nobody is turned away for lack of funds. Masks are welcomed but not required, and we ask that you bring some clean, dry shoes to change into, if it’s snowy or wet out.","links":["https://cdss.org/event/cabot-community-contra-dance/2025-06-13/"],"start":"2025-06-13T19:00:00-04:00","end":"2025-06-13T21:30:00-04:00","country":"USA","state":"VT","city":"Cabot","styles":["contra"],"workshop":false,"social":true,"bands":["The Usual Suspects"],"price":"$5-$10","organisation":"Cabot Community Dance","source":"events/usa/cdss.yaml"},{"name":"Across the Lake","details":"Joseph Pimentel calls to music by Bare Necessities (Kate Barnes, Earl Gaddis, Mary Lea, Jacqueline Schwab).
