About the event

MMTD Contra Dance with the Russel Branch Folk Band and Jim Thaxter. And watermelon!!!
Join us for our last regular MMTD contra dance of the season, and watermelon! (regular dances resume in September.)

Russel Branchj Folk Band will be providing the tunes to the fantastic calling of Jim Thaxter.

Never tried contra dancing before? We welcome beginners! Come at 7pm for a contra dance lesson or refresher and be ready to join in when dancing officially starts at 7:30.

This dance also serves as our by-law mandated annual meeting, where we will elect board members for the following year. Please come and support our organization by being a part of this important (but brief) process. Most importantly, WE NEED YOU to help keep MMTD relevant and thriving. Please consider volunteering for the board or in other ways. (Such as serving on the spring breakdown planning committee, helping staff regular dances, or in other ways.) If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know: https://mmtd.wordpress.com/contact/. Or reach out to one of the board members listed below to discuss.

The board will be serving watermelon at the break as a thank you for your support.

Full admission price: $10
Listener and 19-25yo price: $5
18 and under: Free

You may now pay your admission via credit or debit card, Venmo, PayPal or Apple Pay! Just use this link to pay before coming to the dance: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/VAUV54TARTVMJ
Then just flash your receipt when you come in the door. Alternatively, there will be a QR code at the admissions table that you can scan to go the the payment link once you arrive. A small additional fee is added to the electronic price to cover the fees we are charged for accepting electronic payments. Cash and Checks at the usual price will still be accepted at the door.

Our Ashland venue has a great dance floor, and the live music and calling shouldn't be missed. So we hope to see you there!

After the dance, feel free to join us for a social gathering at the hall. Bring a snack to share and your favorite beverage.
