Pioneer Valley Contra Dance (PVCD) List Serve
To stay up-to-date on upcoming dances, including any weather related or unexpected cancellations, we recommend joining the PVCD list serve.
This list is managed by a moderator. The purpose of this “group” is to have a friendly and open forum to announce any events of interest to the contra dance community, to arrange for car pooling, get directions and/or information on other dances and any other ideas, thoughts or concerns you want to share with other members.
NOTE: The listserve using Yahoo groups is currently being phased out. You can be sure to stay up-to-date by subscribing to both the Yahoo groups and groups.io versions (see below) until the full transition has been completed. Please pardon any duplicate postings during this transition phase.
