Port Townsend Community Dance

The next Port Townsend Community Dance takes place Saturday, May 16th at the Quimper Grange. The Grange is located in Port Townsend’s Dundee Hill neighborhood at 1219 Corona Street. Doors open at 7:15 with dancing from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm.

Our caller for May is Anne Marie Schaeffer. Hailing from Centralia, Anne Marie calls dances from her collection of lines, circles, contras, and square dances to match the energy and needs of the dancers at hand.

Pulsing out the dance tunes, Port Townsend’s Irresistible Antiques (Bobbi Nikles/fiddle, Jere Canote/guitar, Jack Dwyer/banjo and Tracy Grisman/bass) have been playing dance music and beyond for decades. We’d be hard pressed to have a better group of players for our last spring dance!

The Port Townsend Community Dance is inspired by traditional kitchen and barn dances and features a mixture of traditional sets, always danced to live music along with a dance caller. All experience levels are welcome; all dances are taught! Come alone, with a friend, with a partner, with the family – or with the whole village!

Admission is $10! Donations to our program are always appreciated. Please bring your own personal water bottle and consider arriving on foot or by bicycle if possible!

The May dance is sponsored by the Country Song and Dance Society and the City of Port Townsend Arts Commission and is the last dance until September! Hope to see you there.
