English Country Dancing on the Vermont Side of Lake Champlain
In Colchester, Vermont (near Burlington)
We hope to see you at our “Across the Lake” English Country Dance event June 5 and 6, 2026 at Elley-Long Music Center in Colchester, VT (near Burlington). The weekend features Tom Roby calling to music by Karen Axelrod, Rachel Bell, and Naomi Morse.
REGISTRATION OPENS MID-FEBRUARY 2026 Please contact our registrar with any questions: acrossthelakeregistrar@gmail.com
IMPORTANT: The event runs Friday night (welcome dance), Saturday afternoon (usually two consecutive workshops, with one being a challenging workshop for experienced dancers and another being a review session for all for the evening gala), and Saturday evening (dress-up gala). You can register for the full weekend OR choose by individual session(s). Currently, there are no planned activities on Sunday. Home hospitality will be available, but is very limited; we will arrange for special ATL rates/discounts for several hotels. The weekend will also feature our very popular Clothing Sale/Boutique.
IMPORTANT FOR CANADIANS: In 2026, we plan to continue with this policy — Canadians can either pay the same numeric amount as other attendees but in Canadian dollars at the door, OR pay in US dollars with a 25% discount to the amount shown in US cash or US funds check.
