Contradancing: 8:00-11:00 PM; free instruction session for beginners at 7:35. Please wear sneakers or other shoes with clean, soft soles.

Scandinavian Session:  From 7:00-7:30 PM, we'll be dancing schottis, hambo, and other Scandinavian turning dances, changing partners after each dance.  Experienced dancers will provide guidance for newcomers.  All dancers are welcome and there's no additional charge.  Low-heeled, leather-soled shoes are recommended as they make turning easier.  

Dates: 4th Saturdays; no dances in June, July and August. 

Location:  Italian-American War Veterans' Post 35, 247 Grand Avenue, Saratoga Springs.

Admission: Adults $9, DanceFlurry members $8, High School and College Students with ID $6, $5 for young dancers under 15.  (Children are welcome, but children who aren't dancing must be under the supervision of an adult at all times.)
