On November 11 (7:30-9:30pm), the evening dance will be called by veteran Don Veino! Don loves to create opportunities for dancers to have FUN, no matter the group size or level of experience. He is one of the organizers for the Monday night contra dance series at Concord's Scout House, and specializes in highlighting local New England talent, as well as helping new dancers and performers get their start working with experienced performers and dancers. Don has been writing quite a few contra and other types of dances recently, and his dances have been called in several venues across North America and overseas! Learn more about Don at veino.com.
