The Granby Grange #5 hosted a contra dance party on March 29 that was open to Granby residents and surrounding communities. A family emergency prevented musicians from providing the planned-for live music but the night’s caller, Jim Gregory, rescued the event with recordings. Most of the dancers were novices, but Gregory rose to the challenge and taught the sequence of moves (figures) and calling the moves during the dancing. The dancers, and those who came to watch and learn had a great—sometimes hilarious—time!
Jim Gregory, the caller for the March 29 event, is also the line dancing instructor each Wednesday at the Granby Senior Center.
The group asked for more contra dancing, so watch for new opportunities in the months ahead.
