“E pluribus unum,” our nation’s de facto motto and a great motto for open band night!
We have an election night contra with music by Open Band with John Teskey calling. Bring your instruments or your dance shoes. Wear your red, white, & blue outfits! And show goodwill for contra dancers of all political perspectives. Put aside politics at this most political time, turn off twitter, texts, and TV. Spend two hours with other people with whom you share a love of music and dance.
October 30th is our post Gypsy Moon Ball cool-down contra with Ken Gall Calling to Five-OH!
But first we have Gypsy Moon Ball, contra dancing all weekend (except for a few hours dedicated to sleep, food, and showers), October 26, 27, and 28th. Rebecca Lay and Anadama fly in from New England on Friday afternoon, and we start dancing to them at 8 p.m. If you have a ticket to the sold out Sunday dance at Lovett Hall (in Dearborn, MI), we welcome you Friday and/or Saturday. If you’ll be contra dancing to Bare Necessities in Columbus OH on Friday (and not an English or Scottish dancer), we welcome you Saturday & Sunday. If you can, we hope you’ll be with us from 8 p.m. Friday to 3:30 p.m. Sunday! (Eastern time)
Later this week (October 26 – 28) we have Gypsy Moon Ball. Tuesday evening we have Emily Ann Thompson with Bob Duffy Calling. We always welcome new dancers, we never require lessons or pre-registration, and we hope to see you there!
Vickie, Chuck, & Sean play while Barry Dupen calls. Bring your check to register for Gypsy Moon Ball, and bring a friend. Introducing them to contra is one of the nicest gifts you can give anybody.
The deadline for early registration, saving $10, is tomorrow. Your form must be postmarked by 10/9/2012, or come to the dance & give it to us in person. The form & other Gypsy Moon Ball info is on our 2012 page.
Enjoy a lovely fall contra dance with Barry Dupen calling.
Tuesday 10/9 we have music by Entwyned with John Teskey calling. It’s also the deadline to save $10 on Gypsy Moon Ball registration. Bring your form (with a check) to the dance, bring a check – we’ll have forms available, or mail them postmarked 10/9/2012.
Just 3 weeks to Gypsy Moon Ball, and we’re signing up folks to help! If you can help setup, take down, staff registration for 30 minutes (or more), stock the snack tables, sweep the floor, take home recyclables for your pickup, etc. please sign up on this form.

Thanks! It’s gonna be great!
