Goshen Old-Time Dancing has changed it's name to

Goshen Community Contra Dancing.

Website updated to reflect this change.

January 15th, 2005

Changes made to "music page" - jams at the Electric Brew are going dormant for now. Also added generic "donation" content to the "join" page. "dances" page updated.

August 7th, 2004

Updated main dance page with current fall schedule. Note that our new dance location, the First United Methodist Church in Goshen, has a wonderful springy wood floor for dancing. The space is an old gym small enough for good acoustics, but big enough for good dancing. There's easy access to water, restrooms, and parking. Hooray! Many thanks to Goshen College for letting us use their old gym for our first three season. Please spread the word about our new location. See the dance page for more info.

Last dance of the season held at First United Methodist Church in Goshen. Very nice dance floor and pretty good acoustics, to boot. Could fit around 72 plus dancers on the floor relatively comfortably. Stay tuned - this could be a new home for the dances!
