Caller Evie Ladin is back to call our Solstice Square Dance! This is the darkest time of year: wear gold or yellow to the dance to encourage the sun to return! Come on out for a community square dance. No experience necessary; no partner necessary. Kids welcome. The caller teaches each dance right before we dance it.
Doors open: 7:45 pm
Square dancing: 8:00-10:00 pm
Old-time jam for musicians (separate room): 6:45-8:00 pm
This is a queer-friendly event where everyone can dance any role. The caller uses the terms "larks" and "robins" to refer to the two dance roles in the couple.
BYOB: You may bring beer and wine. No hard alcohol allowed.
Wear dance shoes if you have them! No stiletto heels allowed.
$20 general admission (recommended)
