 Especially for Performers
- Our
dancers
Queen City draws on average 40-60 dancers per dance, with the usual
range of ages, levels of experience, etc. We're a typical community
dance with the skilled, the average, the beginners, and the eternal
beginners. Teaching figures is never a waste of time. We can do Heys,
Becket formations, squares. Sometimes we have been known to pull off a
Grand Square or Contra
Corners. Other performers have told us that we have a "nice energy" in
Buffalo.
- Our
venue
If you've studied our schedule and are interested in an available slot
(those marked TBA), please don't hesitate to drop us a line. We're
always interested in new or out-of-town callers and bands.

one hour in advance to open up the hall, generally 7:00, since dances
begin at 8:00.
- Sound
system
8 input mix board and
amplifier, 2 loud speakers; 2 monitor speakers; 4 mic stands; 2 pretty
good quality and 3 lesser, but still OK quality, mics; mic cables. If
you need more, please tell us in advance. We have a designated sound
person for set-up and tear down. If you are planning on bringing
components to use in place of ours, please let us know because we will
endeavor to have the system more or less set up when you arrive.
- Going
out after the dance
A block north of the Unitarian Church is
Spot Coffee, with pastries, nonalcoholic beverages of all kinds,
and
(if they haven't packed them up) light sandwiches, soups, and salads.
