Sunday, May 4, for our final dance this season till the summer break we’ll be mostly waltzing to a duo who have been with us many times before, and to great acclaim: Spare Parts. They are Liz Stell and Bill Matthiesen, and they’ve been making music together for over 25 years. Read about them here, and enjoy a sampling of their music here.
THE PARTICULARS
HCD’s Mostly Waltz events take place from 3:00–5:30 the first Sunday afternoon of every month (except June through September, when we take a summer break) at Temple Beth Torah in Wethersfield. If you’re new to waltzing, come early for a free beginner lesson from 2:30–3:00. In addition, during band breaks we have mini-lessons on some aspect of waltz or another popular dance style. Our dances feature waltzes, waltz mixers, and other couple dances (though you needn’t come as a couple as there are plenty of singles to dance with). Every third tune is a tango, swing, foxtrot, or other couple dance. See a video of one of our dances here.
ADMISSION
General admission to our live-music dances is $15, $10 when music is provided by a DJ. In both cases students (with school ID) are $7, and children 12 and under are admitted free. These fees are subject to change. Volunteers are normally reimbursed for their admission charge in exchange for a half hour of their time provided we are able to cover our costs for that dance. If you’d like to be included on our roster of prospective volunteers, complete the form at the bottom of this page, including your name, email address, and “I’D LIKE TO VOLUNTEER” in the Subject field.
