North Berkshire Dances are held on the second Saturdays of the month from 7:30 to 10 PM in the community hall of the First Congregational Church, 906 Main Street, Williamstown, MA. Dances 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.
Admission is free, or “pay what you can”. An average donation of $10 per person will ordinarily cover our major expenses: rent for the hall, and payment for musicians and callers. Contributions of volunteer time are always welcome — possibilities include simple jobs such as sweeping the floor, assisting with vaccination checks at the door, and (in nonpandemic times) bringing potluck snacks to share at the break.
Vaccination & 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.
