Description

Announcements for some of the contra dances at the Concord Scout House, Concord, Massachusetts, USA (near Boston). Two committees (of seven independent committees) announce via this list. Plus occasional community news and events at other halls.

Each event has a different caller and musicians.

Typical evenings: mostly contra dances and a couple of waltzes, maybe one or two square dances. Perhaps a Sweedish hambo, or a polka, or a schottische. Musical traditions: the strongly phrased and melodic New England style, mixed with Quebecois and Celtic styles including Irish, Cape Breton, and Scottish. Now and then, Old Time or Southern.

You may also subscribe by email to this list.

Dance Series/Committees:

  • Country Dance Society, Boston Centre's "New England Dance Committee" runs dances on:
    • Second Saturdays
    • Occasional Sundays
    • Some 5th Fridays 5th Saturdays
    Calendar - CDS-Boston / NEDC dances
