Dear dancers,
A dancer who was at the Williamstown, MA community contra dance on Saturday, 12/9, informed us that they have tested positive for Covid today (Monday, December 11). So far their symptoms are mild congestion and tiredness. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
As always, if you test positive for Covid-19 in the 10 days after attending our dance, please let us know. And as with any exposure notification, we encourage everyone who attended Saturday’s dance to take reasonable precautions, including monitoring themselves for Covid-19 symptoms and considering testing. Please refer to CDC recommendations.
Join us this Saturday, June 10th, for a delightful community contra dance! Maggie McRae will call (teach), starting the evening with easy dances accessible to novices and families with children. The hall will fill with lively, energetic dancers, new skills will be taught as needed, and by the end, we’ll have danced the old chestnut, “Chorus Jig”, to the traditional reel of the same name. (Trust us, Chorus Jig is fun! That’s why people have been dancing it since 1820, at least.) Come alone, or with friends.
Music will be provided by two masters of New England’s traditional dance music: Laurie Indenbaum on fiddle, and Mary Cay Brass on keyboard. Mary Cay has been a foundational performer and teacher in the traditional dance and music community for many years. In addition to teaching choral singing, she has supplied a vital pulse in various beloved dance bands, including “The Greenfield Dance Band” with David Kaynor, and “Airdance” with Rodney Miller. Laurie Indenbaum has been fiddling for dances in Vermont and surrounding states since 1976, with many fine callers and bands, including “Applejack” and “The Full Catastrophe”.
