Join us for our third dance of the season on Sunday, January 17, from 3 - 5 PM at First Churches, 129 Main St., Northampton (use Center Street entrance). Brendan Taaffe calls, with music by Susan Janssen & Shirley White. Come enjoy easy, fun dances for children and families, from traditional American to international folk.
