MYSTIC CONTRA DANCE “The Pie Dance”, Sat. 07/22/2023
● NEW TIME: Dance 7:30-10:30 pm [Intro session 7:15 pm] ● WHERE: Groton Center’s community meeting hall @ 102 Newtown Road, Groton, CT 06340.
● ALL ARE WELCOME! We often switch partners after every dance so there is no need to bring a partner, and no experience is needed to have a fantastic time! Role Terms are: “Ladies & Gents” but dancers are welcome to choose whatever role their heart desires.

This dance is to honor BARRY SCHUMAN one of our dance organizers, whom we lost May 13.
“Barry had a big heart and his eyes twinkled with humor. He loved telling jokes and limericks. We will miss his silly grin and giggle. Barry’s compassion for people and non-judgemental attitude left a deep impression on us. We love him so much and he will be greatly missed.”
Option to come early to share memories!
