SUMMARY:North Berkshire Community Dance
DESCRIPTION:Dances are held on the second Saturdays of the month and include contras and squares all done to great live music.  The sessions are open to beginners\, families\, and life-long dancers!   All dances are taught and no partner is required. Come alone or bring a friend or two. \n\n\n\nCaller and band soon to be announced. This year we will dance the old chestnut\, “Chorus Jig”\, every month. \n\n\n\nNew in 2023 \n\n\n\nNew location: the community hall of the First Congregational Church\, which is at 906 Main Street\, Williamstown\, MA. \n\n\n\nVaccination & Mask Requirement: unfortunately\, some elements that make our dances wonderful community events are also great for spreading respiratory disease. Luckily\, it’s possible to have most of the fun\, and minimize the misery\, with suitable precautions. To this end we’ll be requiring everyone in the hall to wear masks and show proof of Covid-19 vacination. We’ll follow the rules outlined by the Friends of the Greenfield Dance: http://www.friendsofgreenfielddance.org/covid-19-policy/ \, and we’ll have an optional pre-registration system to help ease lines at the door. \n\n\n\nNew Admission Fee Schedule — Pay What You Can: Pre-pandemic\, we put a lot of effort into setting admission fees to both cover expenses and also let as many people as possible join us. Charging different amounts by category got complicated\, and still didn’t work for everyone\, so we’ve decided to let you decide for yourself how much to contribute. You may choose to contribute by helping with practical matters\, like checking people in at the door\, or sweeping the floor at the break. However\, we do use money to pay our performers (though never quite enough for their specialized skills) and to pay rent for the hall\, so contributions from $5 to $15 per person are most welcome. \n\n\n\nNew Dance of the Year — Chorus Jig! Admittedly\, Chorus Jig is old\, not new\, but dancing it every month here in Williamstown is new for us. Chorus Jig is a dance with a name\, and a history\, and a reputation for boisterous fun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUPCOMING DANCES\n\n\n\nMay 13\, 2023: Caller soon to be announced. Musicians Mary Cay Brass on piano with Laurie Indenbaum on fiddle. This year we will dance the old chestnut\, “Chorus Jig”\, every month. \n\n\n\nJune 10\, 2023: Caller and band soon to be announced. This year we will dance the old chestnut\, “Chorus Jig”\, every month. \n\n\n\nWe send a quick email reminder once a month before each dance. If you would like to be included\, you can subscribe here. \n\n\n\nFor more information\, visit www.northberkshiredance.org\, see the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/northberkshiredance/\,  or contact doonemackay@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Albany Contradance
DESCRIPTION:Albany Contradances are held every second and fifth Friday of the month\, September through June\, in the large ballroom of the Albany Elks Lodge\, located at 25 S Allen St\, Albany\, NY. \n\n\n\nDancing starts at 8pm\, with a beginner lesson at 7:45pm. Now is a great time to be a beginner! Please share this event with anybody who may be interested\, regardless of experience level! \n\n\n\nContra dancing has its roots in English country dancing\, and may feel familiar to square dancing. \n\n\n\nPre-register with this QR Code\n\n\n\nAs we’re living in a world with covid-19\, we will have a number of precautionary measures in place: \n\n\n\n\nWe will be requiring proof of vaccinations – you must have had at least one booster. You can either send us a picture of your card virtually (via the link above)\, or show it at the door.\n\n\n\nDancers are encouraged to pre-register in advance at this link. You only need to pre-register once for the series.\n\n\n\nAll dancers must wear high-quality masks while dancing and when nearby other people. Please bring your own N95\, KN95\, or equivalent. We will have a limited number of N95s for those who need them.\n\n\n\nPlease stay home if you have cold-like symptoms\, even if you think it’s “just allergies”.\n\n\n\nWe strongly recommend taking a rapid test before leaving home the day of the event and are grateful for your diligence around communal health!\n\n\n\n\nIn partnership with the DFO\, we would like to remind all attendees that consent is vital to a safe and inclusive dance experience. Be polite when asking for dances\, gracious if rejected\, and always ask before trying to dip\, lift\, or twirl your partner. If someone at the dance causes you to feel uncomfortable\, please speak with an organizer\, who will be wearing a name badge. More information can be found at https://www.danceflurry.org/about-us/culture-of-consent/ \n\n\n\nWe have decided to make our events more inclusive by asking our callers to use the gender neutral role terms Larks and Robins. Thank you for being a flexible\, loving community! \n\n\n\nIn our ever-continuing work to welcome more people to the dance floor\, we are implementing a sliding pay scale. Please plan to pay what you comfortably can\, from $8 for those that need extra communal support to $25 for those who are able to give our newly reborn dance a financial boost. \n\n\n\nIf you can volunteer your time before\, during\, or after the dance\, we would love to help you help us! Please fill out this form to share your availability and interest\, and we’ll be in touch. \n\n\n\nContact us with any questions at albanycontras@danceflurry.org \n\n\n\nWe are so excited to dance with you again! \n\n\n\nHere is a list of our remaining dates for the season: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJune 30: Cedar Stanistreet and Friends with caller Liz Nelson
