The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers

Salem’s Old Town Hall will once again witness the lively music and sprightly dances of its past. Come and experience 19th century social dances, including quadrilles, contra dances, waltzes and polkas. This is a new series of dances, with prompting by Barbara Pugliese.

Salem Vintage Dances will take place from 8:00 to 11:00 pm on 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month. Live music will be provided and all dances will be taught. Beginners will find that no prior experience is needed. Historical costumes are admired but not required. Please wear comfortable indoor shoes, but no sneakers or rubber soled shoes. Admission is $8 for adults, $5 for students.

There are parking lots in the area and street parking is free after 5 pm. There is a commuter rail from Boston’s North Station to Salem. The final run from Salem back to Boston is at 11:30 pm. We hope to encourage carpooling and have set up a livejournal community (see below), to facilitate this.
