Community Events
Open Mic Nights in the Fox and the Fiddle Cafe
Join us in our new cafe space for our Open Mic Nights. Each month, we look forward to gathering friends to listen and perform music together. Please check our community calendar for upcoming dates.
317 Drop-In Jams
The Jam is a time-honored tradition in which musicians gather as a community to make music together. At 317 Main we offer faculty-led acoustic jams that are open to all instruments and all levels of play. No egos allowed — you will be comfortable, supported and engaged by the 317 Main jam community.
These open community are offered on a drop-in basis — just show up with your instrument and get ready to experience the joy of improvised play. Times, offerings, and locations fluctuate semester to semester. Please visit our community calendar for our schedule.
English Country Dance
A living tradition, English Country Dance has for centuries served as a means of community interaction, exercise for the body and mind, and practice of the social graces. Related to New England contra dancing and Scottish country dancing, but generally less physically demanding, ECD is a great way to make friends, challenge short- and long-term memory, and keep those muscles and joints moving. Repertoire ranges from the elegant to the playful, and from 1651 to the present. Class taught by dancing master Robb Spivey. Best of all, you will find yourself transported by live music from our talented house band. English Country Dance is offered on Thursdays as a class during each session.
