UPCOMING HCD MOSTLY WALTZ DANCES
Sunday, November 8, we’ll be delighted to welcome Confluence Ensemble. For those of you who contra dance, you’ll be familiar with this trio as they regularly play for HCD’s two contra dances, but did you know that they play mostly-waltz dances, too? Come enjoy Jim Sirch, Willow Sirch, and Gary Wikfors playing nickelharpa, five-string fiddle, Irish flute, and whistles for our dance. Read all about them here. Note that this dance will be held on the second Sunday of the month.

♦ January 10 (2nd Sunday): TBD.
♦ February 7: TBD.
♦ March 7: The Vox Hunters.
♦ April 11: Cecilia Vacanti and friend(s).

THE PARTICULARS
HCD’s Mostly Waltz events take place from 3:00–5:30 the first or second 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. 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
Admission to our live-music events is $20, with volunteers and dancers under age 30 with ID receiving a 50% discount. Admission when we have recorded music is just $12. 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. You are welcome to bring refreshments to share at our band break, when we’ll have a prize drawing for free admission to the next month’s dance.
