Also check out the venues in southern Massachusetts. The venues in Boston itself are only about an hour away. Eastern Connecticut isn't all that far away, either.

Editor's Note: I don't get down to Rhode Island much so I don't have much personal experience with these dance venues. I depend on the kindness of local dancers to keep me informed of local activity. If you find that some of this information needs to be updated or if you would like to make an addition to this webpage, please write to me at dancenet@havetodance.com. If you teach classes, hold workshops, play in a band, or hold dances, please read the list of frequently asked questions before you ask to have your information listed here.
