The Cast Off 8's is a Western Style Square Dance club based in Rutland, VT. The club started in 1978 and has grown to be over 50 active dancers. The club meets Wednesday nights at the Lothrop School Gym in Pittsford, VT, just north of Rutland, from 7 to 10 pm. We have a new dancers program between 7:00 and 9:00 alternating between Plus level tips. Between 9:00 and 10:00, we have Plus and all position Plus tips. Our club caller is Ken Ritucci from West Springfield, MA.

Our club dances are held at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Rutland, VT. All of the club dances are held on the first weekend of the month, except for our anniversary dance.

This year we will celebrate our 30th Anniversary with a dance on Sunday, September 21 between 1:30 and 5:30. The dance will be held at the Rutland Intermediate School in Rutland, VT 05701. Red Bates, who winters in Florida and summers in Maine, has been our anniversary dance caller for years. This year Red will be joined by Johnny Preston, who lives in California, and is a National Caller. Print an Anniversary Flyer to share with your square dancing friends. We hope to see you in a square.
