There is an ongoing series of Hungarian dance classes taught by Dénes Takácsy, at the Church of Saviour in Arlington on Sunday evenings from at 6:30 to 8:30 pm. The cost is $10 per class.
On June 7 we will be starting a series of four classes throught the month of June (continuing on June 14, 21, and 28) on Kalotaszegi Táncok. There may be some more classes later in the summer, and then we will continue during the fall.
Please bring clean shoes to dance in, to protect the floor.
For more information about this class, contact Clare Stanley by email at clares@MIT.EDU or call her at work at 617-253-7708.
Here are directions to the Church of Our Saviour, 21 Marathon St. in Arlington. Marathon Street runs off Massachusetts Ave. in East Arlington about eight blocks from Alewife Brook Parkway (Rte. 16), and three blocks from the Capitol Theatre.
If you're coming up Mass. Ave. from Cambridge, turn right at the eighth street after Alewife Brook Parkway. (At the corner of Mass. Ave. and Marathon St. is an Audio Video Plus store.)
If you're coming from Route 2 inbound, you should get off Route 2 at the Lake St. exit (the last exit before Alewife Brook Parkway) and take Lake St. towards Arlington until it ends at Mass. Ave. Turn right on Mass. Ave., then take the second left, which is Marathon.
Here is a map that shows the part of Arlington near the Church of Our Saviour. You might also want to look at the church's web site, which has another map and public transportation information.
There is usually plenty of parking on Marathon St., but please don't park on Warwick St., the small street next to the church perpendicular to Marathon St.
