Musicians' Concert
Wednesday, July 29, 2026
Join us for an evening of music presented by our staff musicians. This treat is always a surprise as the musicians have been given free rein to perform whatever kind of music they like. A great way to come back together after an afternoon of touring the area. And no dances to learn!
Speculative Fiction Theme Night Dance
Thursday, July 30, 2026
Devisor: Charles Liu
Step beyond the familiar and into a world of what if? — where fairies slip between sets, time bends with the music, and Scottish country dancing unfolds in imagined futures, parallel worlds, and enchanted glens. Inspired by science fiction, fantasy, folklore, and myth, this social dance invites curiosity and creativity. Costumes are welcome but optional, from subtle hints to whimsical touches, while the dancing remains firmly traditional and the atmosphere delightfully otherworldly.
