Friday Night Contra and Square Dance: Penelope Weinberger calling to Charlie, Zachary, and Bobby

Contra dance in the Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo Park, Glen Echo, MD. Co-sponsored by Friday Night Dancers and FSGW.

Beginning July 1, 2024, the Friday night contra dance at Glen Echo will be hosted solely by Friday Night Dancers, Inc. FSGW congratulates FND on rebuilding the dance through the COVID pandemic and we look forward to their continued success. What this means for dancers is that tickets will no longer be able to be purchased through the FSGW website after July 1. Dancers will need to go to the FND Website to purchase tickets as well as sign up for their newsletter to receive updates on future dances. We will continue to work with FND in support of contra dancing and music, just like we’ve been doing for 50 years! 

Caller: Penelope Weinberger

Band: Charlie Pilzer on piano, Zachary Mills on fiddle and foot percussion, and Bobby LaRose on mandolin

Gender Free Terms for all dance calls. All dances will be taught.
