In November, caller Nina Berry is here to guide us though all the fun dances! KC and the Moonshine Band plays live old-time music! Come on out for a community square dance. No experience necessary; no partner necessary. Kids welcome. The caller teaches each dance right before we dance it.

This is a queer-friendly event where everyone can dance any role. The caller uses the terms "owls" and "birdies" to refer to the two dance roles of the couple. You are welcome to ask anyone to dance.
