        These evenings at the Guilford Grange are great musical entertainment, a fun and sociable way to get exercise, and inexpensive too. You don't need to bring a partner; there are people of all ages to dance with, and in fact it's impossible not to encounter just about everyone due to the way dancing couples progress up and down the hall. A caller teaches each dance, which is always repetitive enough to learn pretty easily, and the music is excellent, with talented musicians performing on a variety of traditional instruments such as fiddle, guitar, piano, mandolin, flute etc. Light refreshments are served free at the break. Newcomers should arrive by 7:30 in order to take the free lesson, but contra dancing lacks fancy footwork so is easy to learn. Wear lightweight clothes, bring sneakers or other shoes with easily flexible soles, and be ready for an active evening! Collapse
