Sunday Dances
Be sure to check the calendar above! Our dates and locations change sometimes.
Sunday dance program is from 4:00 – 6:30, Donations are appreciated for the band and caller.
Each dance is taught and then prompted throughout each dance by experienced dance leaders. Elegant live music is played by talented local musicians. No partner is necessary. Newcomers welcome. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
Wednesday Advanced Dances (not an OFB event)
On the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month (usually), we have a special evening at Harvest House in Kenilworth: (1st and 3rd Wednesdays are for all levels)
These dances are for those who feel confident and able to follow dances called on Sunday and want to improve their skills and style. Callers and dancers will enjoy a wider range of dances with more complicated figures than are possible on Sunday.
Dances run from 7 pm to 9 PM. Music is by Bare Necessities, Roguery, Foxfire, or whatever other recordings we have. No charge, but donations for snacks are welcome.
