For experienced contra dancers:
All the Fairfield dancers and dance gypsies warmly invite you to attend Fairfield's second full contra dance weekend! It’s two weekend BEFORE Memorial Day!

Enjoy fabulous musical wizardry (lizardry?) from Peter Barnes and Dave Langford, of the Latter Day Lizards, whose amazing variety and verve will keep you dancing. Vermont Caller Will Mentor got his start in Fairfield and is now in demand at dances all over the USA. His clarity and energy will delight you as he guides you through contras and squares both sensuous and energetic, with a few brain-teasers (foot teasers?) thrown in for good measure.

Enjoy workshops in Waltz, Lindy and Swing, English Country Dance, West Coast Swing and Advanced Contras & Squares (and some other treats still in the works) ... and then top it off with plenty of time to enjoy Fairfield's incredible culinary (and coffee!) offerings, all within a few blocks walking distance from the dance!

We have a great dance floor at Morning Star Studio, 51 South Court, Fairfield but to maintain maximum comfort, attendance will be limited to 100 dancers, so be sure to register early.

We aim for approximate gender balance. Just $75 for a very full weekend of dance fun! Register before March 1st to SAVE $10 !
