Dear Ralph Page Dance Event Friends,
● We’re delighted to announce the 2027 Ralph Page Dance Event, taking place January 8–9, 2027.
● We hope you’ll join us for another weekend celebrating traditional dance, music, history, and community. Non-gendered terms will be used for the 2027 RPDE.
● We’ll be returning to the same location as last year:
Wesley United Methodist Church
114 Main Street
Worcester, MA 01608
● 2027 Staff
Callers: Chris Ricciotti & Janine Smith
Musicians: Calliope, Julie Metcalf and Max Newman
● This Year’s Historical Focus: Dance Halls Past and Present
Dance halls have always been more than just places to dance. They are gathering places where dancers, musicians, and callers come together, traditions are shared, and lasting memories are made.
● This year, we’ll explore dance halls past and present that have hosted dancers, musicians, and callers who have left an impression and helped lift and shape the traditional dance scene.
● As always, the weekend will offer plenty of opportunities to dance, listen, learn, reconnect with old friends, and make new ones.
● REGISTRATION opens September 15.
● Please mark January 8–9, 2027 on your calendar and watch for registration information in September.
● We look forward to dancing with you in Worcester!
The NEFFA Ralph Page Dance Committee
