March 2022 Update
Music Together In Person or Online
Music Together Classes have been meeting in person since April 2021!! We have been singing with masks. Since January 2022 we require adults who sign up for Music Together to be fully vaccinated. I am so grateful that we have been able to keep going since there have been so few opportunities to get together. I am lucky to have this big airy space!! In April we have a new Music Together teacher joining us and we have added a Thursday class.
During the past two years, the other dance activities at Bath Dance Works have been limited. The online calendar has not yet been updated. We would love to have more dance and music teachers join us since the demand for more dance and music lessons in increasing.

The 2017 Youth Jam Session were a great success with fiddles, guitars, a banjo and a ukulele. My hope is to give young musician (under 18) an opportunity to play with each other and learn by ear. The session is for all levels. The emphasis will be on fiddle tunes in keys of D, G, A,Em and Am. I am hoping we have some guitar players and whistle/flute players too. We will start with simple tunes and proceed to the more advanced.
We will start with the lists below. Please try to learn (memorize if possible) one or more of the tunes on the list for our first session. They can be found on the Maine fiddle camp website which I have listed below. If you do not have access to the website, let me know and I can send you the music and CD.
Please spread the word. Warmly, Sharon Pyne
Preschool Playgroups…start your own
Bath Dance Works 72 Front Street 3rd floor
$5 per child per hour limit 8 children with parents.
The Bath Dance Works, managed by Sharon Pyne has reserved some drop in playgroup times for preschoolers and parents. Parents are responsible for keeping their own children and others safe. Please sign the waiver when you arrive. Encourage your child to use the wonderful hardwood floor to slide, gallop, skip , dance, crab-walk instead of run. Eventually parents may be able to run an errand while another parent watches their child. No parent attending should be looking after more than one child besides their own.
This is intended to be a social time for parents and children. There will be no organized activities unless a parent wants to lead them. I suggest start out bare bones and seeing what your children come up with. Try to leave your own toys at home. We will have a designated snack eating place. Please be aware that we do our own cleaning here so any way you can help will be appreciated. If you bring food to share please ask other parents about allergies.
