People of all ages and all abilities are welcome!

How can I volunteer?
If you want to help with set-up or take-down, please send an email to info@barefootboogie.org to let us know in advance, or just show up! If you'd like to help with set-up, please come one hour before the scheduled start time. For door shifts, sign up when you arrive. To DJ, contact info@barefootboogie.org. Our dances are run completely by volunteers, so please talk to any of our organizers if you want to participate in making the dance happen!

Are door shifts arranged in advance?
All you have to do is show up and sign up! You get $5 off your admission for doing a 1/2 hour door shift, and a free dance for doing 2 door shifts.

Do I have to be barefoot? Can I wear socks or dance shoes?
Most people dance barefoot at the Boogie, but socks or clean shoes with non-marking soles are acceptable (we provide wipes if you need to clean off your shoes).

What kind of music do you play?
Every DJ and every dance is different. Each of our DJs has his or her own style, and sometimes we have live music which brings another flavor to the Boogie. Our email announcements generally give a description of each DJ's style. We invite you to try the dance out different times and experience the music!

Do you happen to know of any dances in my area?
Check out our parent organization's site, Dance New England. They have dance listings nationally and internationally and may be able to help you.
