Amherst Assembly

First Saturday Dances
7:30-10:30 pm

Dances are held monthly at the Munson Library, in Amherst, MA.

Our series is thematic, exploring the repertoire of English Country Dance by topic. Among our past themes: goddesses, saints, foreign travel, and a calendar in dance. Graham Christian is the principal leader; guest leaders and musicians are drawn from the wealth of talent in the greater New England area. Plus, our staff of elves makes two theme-related Desserts of the Month; come and taste it all!

No partner necessary, but some experience with English Country Dance or contra dance will prove helpful.

Admission $8
