A suggested donation of $10 contributes to the room rental and music, but no one will be excluded due to inability to pay.

When: Saturdays, January 13th and February 10th, from 2-5pm! If you’re new, come a few minutes early for a quick beginner orientation.

"Brush-up" Evening - Thursday in Middleton - February 8th

On Thursday February 8th from 7:30-9pm, we'll be hosting a "brush-up" evening to review set dance skills, answer questions, and practice familiar sets. We're suggesting a donation of $5 for each of these “brush-up” days. (These events are intended for dancers who have experience with the basics of set dancing. If you are brand new, please let us know, so we can help you get started!)

Please contact us at Madi...@gmail.com if you plan to come, so we know how many dancers to expect.
