Upcoming Dances
Tuesday Dances
Every Tuesday, year-round, from about 7:45 to 9:45 pm, at Gates of Heaven Synagogue in James Madison Park. See the Dance Halls page for directions and parking information.
Your donations are the sole source for our hall rentals. Please give what you can — many folks give about $5. For students, $3 is typical. If you're coming regularly, you could consider paying $50 for four months of dancing.
Open band and calling. If you want to join the band, the Madison Open Band (aka the MOB) has links to all the music played at the dances.
