Binghamton Community Dance is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization which offers New England style contradances, open to the public, every month. A typical evening of contradance attracts 60-80 participants of all ages representing a cross-section of our community. Our dances are fun, smoke-free, and alcohol-free.

We bring fine musicians (folk-acoustic style) and dance callers from throughout the central New York region - occasionally from greater distances. To pay these fine performers fairly, and to keep admission prices reasonable, we ask your support. Trinity Memorial Church allows us to use their gym for $100 per monthly dance. We developed the "Sure I'll Pay the Rent" program with this in mind.

With a modest contribution (only $100) you can Pay the Rent for one month's dance. Your support is acknowledged publicly at the event you sponsor, as well as on flyers we distribute prior to that event. Your name, address and phone number will be posted on our website during the months leading up to the event.

If your business or organization has a website, our website will link to yours. If you have a logo, it can also be included on our website and on our printed flyers (there may be technical or printing limitations to this). Please provide an electronic version of your logo (.gif or .jpg as email attachment).
