See many of us at the Florida Folk Festival in White Springs, FL. (near Lake City).  There will be Contra dancing every evening.  Plus a smorgasboard of music, dancing, crafts and food throughout the weekend!

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 at The Dancing Fish.  And the regular GODS dance in Gainesville has resumed, check their schedule here.

There is Contra dancing in the Tampa area, check their schedule here;  and in the Titusville area, check their schedule here.

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
