Indy Contra Dance

May 22nd Doug & Fiona lead a workshop on flourishes, optional, additional things dancers can do in addition to the basics. 7:15. Then at 8 we contra to music by Emily Ann Thompson and calling by Doug Becker.

Two of our newer callers, Heather Robinson & Vickie Stohl share the calling Tuesday, May 15th, and Entwyned collaborate on the music.

On June 12th we have a special visiting band & caller. Perpetual e-Motion, who you may remember from Gypsy Moon Ball 2010, is stopping by to play for us, with calling by Will Mentor.

They’ll play high energy traditional New England contra style music with electronic, rock, progressive influences, like they recently did in Concord, MA, at the Scout House (click “YouTube” to see 6 more videos from that night):

May 8th we have Bob Duffy calling to 61st Pl. Project.

Music by the open band & caller Barry Dupen

Dugan

Edge of Erin (Samantha Stelting, Dianna Davis, and Robyn Ton) will play, Dugan Murphy will call, and we’ll dance from 8 – 11 p.m. at our regular site, Zion. Samantha Stelting has fallen in love with a flute player, gotten engaged, and is moving to Cleveland, OH. Dugan is returning to his native Maine.

Party after the dance at Chris & Juliet’s. Maps at the dance.

April 24th, we feature music by LEDfoot with Ken Gall Calling.

Those of us who have filed, have asked for an extension on, or don’t have to file our taxes will contra to Dugan Murphy, with Dianna Davis on accordion and foot percussion, Sean Hirschten on banjo, and Vickie Stohl on guitar.

Yes, we’re dancing this Tuesday night, at our regular new location, Zion.   If there’s not an update listing the band & caller, it’s usually because scheduling & travel made posting that difficult.  The calendar (right column) and twitter.com/indycontra are easier to update so likelier to have the most current info.

April 3rd we have open calling, 8 – 10 p.m. in our new location, Zion Evangelical United Church of Christ (just northeast of the Murat). Our new site allows us to have snacks, so feel free to bring treats to share.

Also, don’t forget to finish your taxes! They’re due on a Tuesday this year, and we want you dancing that night, not sweating over your return.
