The BAYSIDE
TRAVELLERS DANCE SOCIETY promotes traditional music and dance. Our
goals are education, increased community awareness and participation in
traditional and folk music and dance. All ages, skills, and
interest levels are welcome to participate. Contra and Square dances
are held on the second Saturday of the month, October through June.
Bands provide live music. All dances are taught, and no partner
is necessary. Clean shoes are requested and a smooth bottom to the shoe
is helpful for ease of movement. It is important to have clean and dry shoes to change into once you have arrived at the hall. All dances start with a skills workshop from 7:00 to 7:30 p.m. Dances start at 7:30 p.m and run until 10:30 p.m.
.
