March | 2023 | North Berkshire Community Dance

Worried your dance skills are rusty? Have a friend or family member who is scared to dance? Come to our April 8th community contra dance in Williamstown, bringing your hesitant friends, and your enthusiastic friends, too!

Our caller this month will be Paul Rosenberg, who specializes in leading dance events welcoming to complete novices, families with children, and people who are really worried about the whole idea. The evening will feature lots of simple dances appropriate for novices and families, gradually building the dancers’ skill levels and confidence while having fun.

Caller: Paul Rosenberg

Musicians: Tony Pisano, Eric Buddington, Patrician Kernan (Two fabulous locals, and one spcialist in the caller’s repertoire.)

Location: the community hall of the First Congregational Church, at 906 Main Street, Williamstown, MA

Time: 7:30 – 10PM, Saturday April 8th

Admission: pay what you can; $10 – $20 suggested

Covid Precautions: Masks and proof of vaccination required

Starting with an introductory lesson at 7:30 p.m, Quena Crain will call a program welcoming to families with children (and unaccompanied adults, too). The later half of the evening will feature dances more likely to appeal to those of us who are still vigorous after 9 PM. This year, every event will include the old chestnut, Chorus Jig.

Pictures of our performers: Quena, George, and Ma.rko

Music will be supplied by master musicians George Wilson and Marko Packard. George has been lifting dancers’ feet with fiddle tunes in the Northern fiddle tradition for half a century; Marko has played guitar, flute, and saxophone with a variety of popular contra dance bands for over two decades.

Admission is pay what you can, $10 to $20 suggested.
