The CDS American Dance Program

CDS sponsors a Contra dance series on First, Third and Fifth Tuesdays from September 16 til the middle of June. This Fall, the Tuesday series is moving to the Old Cambridge Baptist Church, 1151 Mass Ave, next to The Inn at Harvard, in Harvard Square. Informal instruction begins at 7:45, dancing from 8:00 to 10:30 PM. The Church has an adjacent parking lot with 25 spaces which dancers will be able to use. Admission $6 for non-members, $5 for CDS members, $3 for students and seniors.

The Church hall has a wood floor, and a grand piano. CDS is providing a new PA system to ensure clear calling, high quality sound, and to assist open band members to play together.
