name = "Verona Monday Night Contra Dance"
details = """
Join Shenandoah Valley Contra Dance at the Verona Community Center for our monthly Monday Night Contra. No experience necessary – we’ll teach you everything you need to know – and you don’t need to bring a partner (but if you want to bring a crew of people – the more the merrier!). 
A brief beginner workshop will be held at 6:45 pm and then we’ll dance from 7 pm to 9 pm. Please check our website and/or Facebook for more details about each month’s dance. 
To protect the floor at VCC, please wear soft-soled, clean, and comfortable shoes. 
Admission: Pay-what-you-will (we recommend ~$10 to help pay for the room rental and to compensate our band and caller for their time and skill) 
This is a mask-optional event. There are no vaccination requirements. As always, for the health and safety of the community, please stay home if you are displaying any symptoms of illness or have been recently exposed to someone who tested positive for an infectious disease."""
