A Double Dance on most 1st and 3rd weekends: an English Country Dance in the afternoon, and a contra dance in the evening.

a  Contra Dance, on 1st and 3rd Sundays

an English Country dance, usually on 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sunday afternoons, at the spacious social hall of the First Presbyterian Church.

Make almost any Sunday a double dance, with just a short distance between the two venues.

A typical Sunday evening event includes mostly contra dances (what's that?), maybe a circle mixer and/or a traditional square dance, two waltzes and another couple dance.

The English Country dances (what's that?) feature dances in a variety of formations, tempos, moods, etc., written as early as the 17th century and as late as today.
