Dance bag

indycontra — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 13:58:20 +0000

Do you have a dance bag? Hopefully it’s already packed with your clean, non-marking, soft soled shoes. Our lease specifies that dancers must carry in their shoes, not dance in the shoes we walk in wearing.

Also in the bag: a water bottle. We throw away dozens of water cups each week, and would like to minimize that waste and cost. (If you’re using disposable, the church asks that we not throw cups with liquids into the trash. Please pour out the water first.)

And if you need or want: name tag, disposable tissues, braces or bandages for any joints you want to protect, assorted toiletries, generally $5 or less for admission.If you’re arriving late for the dance on a night that the Murat has a big event you might also need $5 for parking. Normally we have free parking, but if there’s a concert we’re limited to a couple dozen spaces.

Any other suggestions?

4/9 Pre-ACRL contra

indycontra — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:55:20 +0000

Hi contra dancing librarians & others attending ACRL! We hope to see several of you on the dance floor, Tuesday night, 7:45 – 9:45 Indianapolis time. We’re just 1.3 miles from the convention center, which is about a 7 minute walk if google is right.

Please carry in clean shoes! The church floor was recently refinished & we need to be extra protective of it. Our lease specifies that dancers carry in, not wear, clean non-marking soft sole shoes.
Bob Duffy will call to music by Troika.
