HOW OUR SCHEDULE (usually...) WORKS

We dance on the following evenings:

    1st Weekend - a Saturday evening English country dance
    2nd Weekend - a Friday evening contra dance
    3rd Weekend - a Saturday evening contra dance
    4th Weekend - a Friday evening contra dance
    When there is a 5th weekend, we call it our "windfall weekend" and schedule a contra dance; it could be on Friday or Saturday - check the schedule)

Sometimes, for one reason or another, we don't stick to the pattern. Here are exceptions in our current schedule:

Our dances normally run from 8 pm to 11 pm, and take place at the United Church of Fayetteville. On most evenings admission is $7, although admission to "Cream of the Crop" dances is more. Please speak to the door person if the admission price is burdensome for you. Admission can be reduced or waived in exchange for helping out at the dance.
