The Brattleboro Dawn Dance

07/24/2022

Unfortunately there will be no Dawn Dance this Labour Day, but we are still working on getting enough people on the organizing committee to be able to put on dances next year! Let us know if you live in the area and are interested in committing to help the Dawn Dance continue into the future!

Hi Dawn Dancers, We are emerging from hibernation with fewer committee members than we need… We would love to have a Labor Day 2022 Dawn Dance (and all the others that should follow….) but we need help to pull it off. If you live in the Brattleboro area, can commit to a few meetings a year, some help putting the dances together, and working a shift at the dance, you can help make it happen! Email us at [email protected]! Hoping to see folks this fall and for a full 2023 Dawn Dance season. Thanks!

Brattleboro-area Dawn Dancers: We have an urgent need for storage space for the dawn dance materials. This is mainly a few tubs of papers and supplies, the fans that go in all the windows, and a pole used as a tool to hang the curtains. Everything would easily fit in half of a garage bay; or a small shed. If you have a basement, barn, shed, or trailer you could lend us to store these things please let us know as soon as possible!!!

Thank you!!!

Friends - belated Thank You for buying ‘tickets’ to both the fall and spring Dawn Dances this year. Your support is very much appreciated by all of our spring and fall performers, and the committee. Thanks for helping us hold on. ❤️

If things had gone as planned, we would be in the middle of a fabulous Maivish with JoLaine Jones-Pokorney set right now, after Wild Asparagus with George Marshall kicked the night off, and would be looking forward to Calluna and Kristen Planeaux calling the Labor Day sun up. We aren’t doing that right now, but you can help support all these performers by buying a ticket anyway: https://dancerfly.com/bddc/brattleboro-dawn-dance-hibernate/order/shop/

The Labor Day dance is cancelled because of the pandemic. Because of your support we were able to pay the spring performers 50% of what they would have earned - please help us to do the same this time around! Buy a "ticket" at any price to help us support our callers and musicians.

We miss our callers and musicians. If you haven't already, please join the 70 people who have bought tickets to our Hibernation event, so we can show the above talented folks how much we love them ❤️

All funds raised will go to the performers.
