Sunday, April 12, we’ll be mostly waltzing to the music of the veteran multi-instrumentalist and prolific composer Larry Unger (guitar, banjo, jaw harp, and bass) and the highly skilled fiddler and violist Julie Metcalf. We’ve mostly waltzed to this popular duo many times in the past, which will give you some idea of how much they’re appreciated. Enjoy a sample of their music here. Note that this event will be held on the second Sunday of the month.
♦ May 5: Spare Parts
♦ June 7: TBD
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. 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 is $15, which includes a free lesson from 2:30–3:00 p.m. 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.
