We now have a new web page at http://tuesdaynightrevival.com/, but this one will still be in operation for a while.
We have a monthly (occasionally twice in a month) dance on a Friday or Saturday, often the first or second weekend of the month, at the Church of Our Saviour, 21 Marathon Street, in Arlington, Massachusetts. Our repertoire and our name come from the MIT Tuesday night Balkan dances. Our dances are aimed at experienced dancers; if you're a beginner, you might prefer the dances of the MIT Folk Dance Club every Sunday night, the Folk Arts Center of New England every Friday night, or Zdravets once a month on Saturday.
All of our dances are from 8 to 11 p.m. There is often, but not always, a teaching session from 7 to 8 p.m.
Here is the schedule for upcoming dances:

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 Audiosonics 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.
Admission is $4 for the dance.
Please bring clean soft-soled shoes to dance in, to protect the floor.
Refreshments are always welcome!
