Kick up your heels with some old-time New England country dancing on Friday, August 25 at our next Movement at the Museum! Fiddler extraordinaire Greg Boardman will be here with some fellow folk musicians to lead attendees in some simple contra, square & circle dances. Inspired by lively Celtic and French Canadian jigs-&-reels music, these traditional social dance styles have been popular in our area for many years. No previous experience is necessary. Fun for all ages! Come either with a partner or solo.
