Village Dance Series resumes at Grange

DUMMERSTON — A community contra dance will take place at the Evening Star Grange in Dummerston Center on Saturday, Sept. 17, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

“Flicker” features three local young musicians: Hilary Weitzner and Ellery Witman on fiddles, and Avery Witman on cello. They will be accompanied by local Irish music master Randy Miller on piano. Andy Davis will be calling the dance and telling a traditional folk tale midway through the evening, according to a news release.

Two other dances in this series take place Oct. 15 and Nov. 19 at the Evening Star Grange. The dances are always preceded by a community potluck supper at 5:30 p.m. Bring a dish and your own plates and silverware.

The program will include traditional New England contra dances, square dances, circle mixers, and couples dances. Experience isn't necessary, as all the dances are taught. The dances are geared for people of school age to adult, but all ages and abilities are welcome.
