Beantown Stomp, the Boston
contra dance weekend I helped start in 2018, is two weeks out. It sold out
a
month ago, which is good and bad: it's great that lots of people
are coming, but not that there are many more who won't be able to.
Someone in the latter category wrote to me, which got me thinking
about two options for people who still want to attend:
The Saturday morning, 9:15-10:30, there will be a family dance
with an open band, open to all ($3 for kids, $5-$20 for adults) even
if you're not registered for the weekend. If you do come for the
family dance, you're welcome to stay for the 10:45-noon contra set
with Will Mentor calling to the Figments. (more)
BIDA's regular Sunday evening dance is the Sunday of Beantown
Stomp, with Will Mentor calling to the Mean Lids. Unlike the dance
weekend itself, this event is mask-required (which I expect is a plus
for some people and a minus for others). (more)
I'll be at both of these, leading the music for the former and hall
managing for the latter. Hope to see you there!
