Village Dance hosts Quebecois soirée of music and dance

DUMMERSTON — A community contra dance will take place at the Evening Star Grange in Dummerston Center on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Calling the dance will be Fred Breunig. Music will be played by the McNeill's Quebecois Session Band.

Fred Breunig will bring his unique repertoire of dances collected from the Quebecois tradition. The music will feature community musicians who play monthly at the Quebecois music jam held at McNeill's in Brattleboro.

Prior dance experience isn't necessary, as all the dances are taught. Although the dances are geared for school age children through adults, all ages and abilities are welcome. There will be a potluck supper at 5:30 p.m.

The program will includes traditional contras, squares, circle mixers, and couples dances. Admission is $5 for children, $8 for adults, and $20 for a family.
