This is so wicked fun! It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
Dancing is to live fiddle tunes of Ireland, Scotland, England, France, and Appalachia! We often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time!
Live music by Truffle Creek from Boston. They are Lillian Chase on the fiddle, Jonah Spear on guitar and foot percussion, and Cecily Mills on the cello. They draw heavily from the old time genre for their tune selections, but certainly don’t limit themselves to a singular tradition for repertoire selection. Together these three bring creativity, variety, tradition, and joy to any room they find themselves making music in.
Caller: Paul Wilde from Rhode Island.
Admission (your choice): $10 – $12 p.p., $6 – $8 students, families $25. Donations are gratefully appreciated!
Parking: There is plenty of parking behind the church. Drive up State Street, take a left behind the church, and walk down Gertrude Street to enter the hall.
Food! Donations of snacks for the break are wanted and gleefully appreciated!
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual. Please wear non-street shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged, but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).
Role Terms are: “Women & Men” but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role that works for them. with no worries.
Masks: Masks are *no longer* required, but still welcome."""

Community Shindig: In the tradition of New England’s earliest settlers, The Groton Grange and Contra Banditos invite you to a New England Contra Dance to celebrate the traditions of the Grange Hall. No partner or experience necessary!
This is so wicked fun! It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
Live Music by: The Contra Banditos. The Banditos were formed in the late 1980s when original band member Dan Fassett and two of his students decided to practice their craft at a contra dance in the First Parish Church in Groton, MA. Those practice sessions evolved into the formation of the band. From a handful of fiddle members, we have grown into a band with typically eight members who play fiddle, banjo, guitar, piano, mandolin, whistle, bass and percussion.
Caller: Don Heinold. Hailing from Rhode Island, Don has been calling at dances, weddings, and parties all over New England for over 14 years. Don is also known for teaching the Rotary (country) Waltz.
Admission: $5 suggested donation per person. Contributions are greatly appreciated!
Parking: on-street. Please be careful.
Clothing & Footwear: Clothing is casual. Please wear shoes that move easily on the floor (rubber-soled sneakers are discouraged, but some do wear them even though it makes dancing harder).

details = """
The dances in this series are open to all but will be geared toward experienced dancers. “Experienced” means: 

You know how to do a roll away, California twirl, pass through to a wave, contra corners, and basic moves without teaching
You know where to be at the start of each dance phrase and how to recover from a lapse
You assist your partner and neighbor to the next move
You execute flourishes safely and on time without disturbing others
You respond to confusion and missteps by others with grace, encouragement and good humor

Admission: $12-20 
Please help us make this a scent-free and substance-free event. 
See venue website for this month’s details and Covid policy. 
Questions: Steve Zakon-Anderson or Katie Olmstead."""
