WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The North Berkshire Contra Dance will hold its monthly community contra dance on Saturday, Oct. 12, with live fiddle music, and all dances taught by caller Quena Crain.
Come alone or with a partner; most people change partners for each dance throughout the evening. New dancers and families with children are encouraged to arrive by 7:30 for instruction in the basics.
Music will be provided by Cedar Stanistreet on fiddle and Michael Sokolovsky on guitar -- the duo version of the popular contra dance band, Sycamore.
The dance will run 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. in the Community Hall of the First Congregational Church, 906 Main St., Williamstown. Admission is pay-as-you-can, $12 - $20 suggested, and barter (especially help with cleanup) is also welcome.
Covid Policy: Please stay home if you feel ill or have cold symptoms. Masks appreciated but ot required. Be aware that contradance isn't made to social distance, as whoever your partner, you'll wind up dancing with everyone in the room. You may wish to bring a spare mask to change into for comfort throughout the evening.
