And not just swing dancing — different segments of the evening with be dedicated to swing, contra dancing and waltzes with a lesson before each segment so you can feel confident out on the floor, whether you’re a beginner or experienced dancer.
Carol Copp will call the contra dance from 6:30-9pm, followed by waltzing from 9-10pm. Finally, partygoers will swing in the New Year with swing dancing conclude with swing dancing from 10pm-12:30am. As usual, the music will be provided by live musicians, in this case an all-star lineup of some of the area’s outstanding players including Bob Frank, Bill Lestock, Ray DeForest, Scott Flowers, Bob Corlett, and Will Craig.
The evening will start with a finger-food potluck at 6pm where guests can socialize and enjoy treats brought be others. Beer and wine will be allowed in moderation after 10pm but this is a night for dancing not drinking! As usual, no partner is needed; part of the fun is the all-evening partner swapping and getting to dance with new people.
