	NEFFA Thursday Night Contra Dance
	The NEFFA Thursday Night Contra Dance moved to The Concord Scout House in Concord, MA, on Thursday, August 3, 2006. A mainstay of the Cambridge dance scene for more than 20 years, the dance moved to Springstep in Medford this year, and will move to the Concord Scout House in August 2006. The move to the Concord Scout House is temporary, but will last until a more permanent home is found for the dance. Note that because the Concord Scout House is in a residential area, the times for the Thursday dance will change to 7:30 PM - 10:30 PM. More information will be available on fliers available at local contra dances near Boston, and on the New England Folk Festival Association's web site. The dance's current flyer is always available here.
