New Info: Scandinavian Session:  At 7:00-7:30 PM, we'll be dancing schottis, hambo, and other Scandinavian turning dances, changing partners after each dance.  Experienced dancers will provide guidance for newcomers.  All dancers are welcome and there's no additional charge.  Low-heeled, leather-soled shoes are recommended as they make turning easier.

Location:  The First Presbyterian Church, 22 West High Street, Ballston Spa, New York (on NY Route 67, 2 blocks west of NY Route 50, at the corner of Bath Street).  Enter through the chapel entrance, facing West High Street.  Click here for a map to this venue.  See below for detailed directions.

Admission: Adults $9, HMTD members $8, High School and College Students with ID $6, $5 for young dancers under 15.  (Children are welcome, but children who aren't dancing must be under the supervision of an adult at all times.)
