House Dance in Middleton POSTPONED to Sunday, August 6th

 
From: "Madison Set Dancers" <madsets@celticmadison.org>
Date: July 26th 2023
Hello, dancers,
 

Our house dance host, Jeanna, has had a death in the family and will be traveling home this weekend for services.  The July 29th house dance will be postponed until Sunday, August 6th.  Details below.

 
If you aren't able to join us on August 6th, we hope you'll join us at the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center for our beginner-friendly Saturday monthly dances with live music on August 12th (music by Rare Privilege!) and September 9th (music by Capitol Ceili Band!)!

House dance - Postponed to August 6th
 
We are hosting a house dance in Middleton on Sunday, August 6th, from 2-5pm.  House dances are a time-honored tradition in the set dance world, bringing us back to our crowded cottage roots.  The event will be informal and lots of fun!
 
Instead of dancing full set dances, we will be dancing, ceili dances, two-hand dances, and portions of set dances.  Theresa is preparing to call dances for brand new dancers at Chicago Summerdance in August, so this house dance will be her practice run!  
 
All dances will be taught at a beginner level, so this is a perfect time for brand new dancers to join us!  Bring your friends and family!
 
We will be dancing to recorded music at this event.  There will be tea and snacks, as always!
 
Space is limited, so please email us at MadisonIrishSetDance@gmail.com if you plan to attend.
 
Reminder: Please bring clean, non-scuffing shoes to all dances.
