BELFAST — On Friday, March 7, let your shoes fly at the First Friday Community Dance & Contra Dance.

The intergenerational program begins at 6 p.m., when the All Comers Band warms up and chooses tunes with ACB leader, Maise Newell. The band is open to all ages, instruments, and skill levels; tunes are posted at belfastflyingshoes.org. The easy-to-learn Community Dance led by Chrissy Fowler starts at 6:30 p.m.

This month, the 8 p.m. Contra Dance features VT caller Mary Wesley with locals Benjamin Foss and Bennett Konesni, with Ethan Tischler on sound.

"Dancers can expect rousing tunes and dances from the New England repertoire and beyond," said Flying Shoes, in a news release.

The First Church is at 8 Court Street in Belfast. Admission is $15-25 for the whole evening. (For just the first hour’s Community Dance, admission is $1 kids/$2 adults.) For info, First Friday FAQ, and BFS Community Care Policy, visit www.belfastflyingshoes.org
