As we start back up after Covid, Tallahassee dances will be two and a half hours long, with a 10 minute break.  Bring your own snacks!

If you are experiencing the signs of having Covid, the flu or any other illness, please do not attend these dances.  Attendees may wear masks if they wish, but it is anticipated that most will not.

In addition to dances in the local area, dances in the Gainesville area have resumed at the The Dancing Fish on most 1st weekends & 3rd Saturdays.  Check the schedule here.  Proof of Covid vaccination is required.

Dancing has also resumed in the Tampa area, check their schedule here.

As we ease back into contra dancing, we suggest you come to the Old Time Jams and the Irish Jam, all at the Blue Tavern, where you can listen to fine music, get some food and drink, and maybe dance with a partner a little!  The Jams are often held outdoors on the back patio.

Old Time Jams are held on the 2nd and/or 4th Saturday of each month, and the Irish Jam is held on the 3rd Saturday of each month, all at 4:00 -6:00 pm, 1206 N. Monroe St.  For the Old Time Jam, see the Facebook page, or contact Mary at maryallgire "at" yahoo "dot" com
