Arrive early — Dancing Fish opens at 5 pm!
![The fun begins at six pm with calling to live music -- or even earlier for open waltz](https://i0.wp.com/dancingfish.dance/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/1200.jpg?resize=750%2C500&ssl=1)
Saturday dances start at 6:00 pm now.
Remember that while 1st Friday dances still begin at 7 pm, all Saturday evening dances are now 6-9 pm. This enables out-of-town dancers to return home an hour earlier than before.
Saturday evening dancing at The Dancing Fish start as early as 5 pm when the barn opens to the vaccinated public. Arrive early to warm up to ambient waltz music (recorded).
