NEFFA and Other contra dancing in Boston -- when where why etc???

[nilsd]

Hi --
What I am looking for is some information about NEFFA. I will be going
out to Boston for the weekend of NEFFA, intending to dance my little toes
off, and I thought I'd see if anyone could send me some advance information
on the scene. Like, for instance, where it is, is there some sort of
hospitality arrangement for those from out of town, like me, what the
dance schedule is, maybe is there someone I should write to?

Some information I can certainly give in return is almost everything you
need to know about where to dance in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is
from contra dancing to Scandinavian to swing and jitterbug.

Thanks a lot,

Nils

In response to a posted inquiry, and for general info:

NEFFA is coming. The New England Folk Festival will take place
April 25, 26, 27 at Natick High School in Natick, MA.

NEFFA focuses on folk music (song, instrumental, old-timey,
international, ...) and dance (international folk, squares & contras).
It is a very participatory festival, with dancing for all, music
workshops, song swaps, and much jamming. Also ethnic foods, crafts,
records etc. for sale, and so forth.

Info? NEFFA, 595 Mass. Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139. (617) 354-1630.
I will field email inquiries until the load becomes too great.
