Public Transportation: (strongly recommended)
The Masonic Hall is a short walk from Porter Square Station.
Parking: No parking permit needed on Sundays as parking meters are not active on Sundays. If coming from out of town, parking at Alewife or Davis Square and taking the subway may be the best option. Share rides with other dancers! We don't recommend the Shaws grocery store parking lot, as there is a small risk of being towed.
Volunteer: There are a limited number of volunteer openings in exchange for free admission. Contact us for more information:

BIDA's Third Sunday Dance Series is funded in part by the Mary Kay Friday Fund of the Country Dance and Song Society (CDSS) and the Boston Country Dance Society.
