Use those Scrod Bucks!!


Welcome! The Bowdoinham Contradance Series is held on the 3rd Saturday every month at the old Town Hall in Bowdoinham, Maine. Some say its the center of the dancing universe; we simply thinks it's one of the nicest dance halls in New England. From September through May, the house band is Scrod Pudding with caller Bill Olson. From June - August, we feature other groups of musicians and callers as part of our Summer Dance Series. We offer a begionners' workshop every month at 7:30 pm. The dancing starts at 8:00 and ends at 11:00 pm. It'll only set you back $8 or the equivalent in creative barter - and with the all new Scrod Bucks ContraNomic Stimulus Program, it's a bargain at twice the price! Come on out for a good time! Scrumptious brownies are always served at half-time!!

 

 
Havin' a good time at the Bowdoinham dance.

 

We look forward to seeing you at the dances in Bowdoinham or any of our other scheduled appearances real soon.

 

See you on the dance floor!

Beginner's Workshops 7:30 pm Every Month

We now offer a beginners workshop before each monthly dance to help beginning contradancers develop the skills they need to dance anywhere. Bill Olson teaches the workshops which are held at 8 pm. Beginners will learn the basic figures and moves needed to do most dances. To further help new dancers get their moves down, the complexity of the dances taught in the regular evening dance progresses through the night, so that newly acquired dance skills can be honed and new ones added.

Annual Mega-Beginners Workshop

Annually, usually in October or November, we hold a special extra long beginners workshop to help encourage new people to get into contradancing. The workshop and the evening dance are FREE for workshop participants, both seasoned dancers and beginners alike. Check our schedule for the next Mega workshop coming up in the fall.

Summer Dance Series

Summer brings a collage of callers and musicians to Bowdoinham as Scrod Pudding takes a hiatus. Usually a few members of the band are on hand along with special guest callers and musicians. We hope to see you on the dance floor!
