Every Indy Contra dance features live music played by live people. It makes a huge difference in the experience. Most nights we dance to bands whose members play together regularly, but on the first Tuesday of odd months (like July) we dance to an “open band” made up of anybody who wants to join in for the evening.

We welcome any skill level and any instrument.

Please arrive by 7:15 so we can get chairs, music stands, and other stuff all ready for playing 7:45-9:45. We have several copies of the Portland contra tune book, but bring yours if you have one.

John Teskey will call.

Things are just heating up. Hoosier Hill Boys with Ryan Smith on June 25th. Come now. Next week will just be even hotter.

Ice cream party after the dance! Come or contact us for directions.

June 18th we have Indiana Old Time Ambassadors (IOTA) with Ken Gall.

John Teskey calls. Join us!

Get ready for July 30, when we have Dot Dot Dash visiting!

Yes, that’s almost two months, but here’s why you want to mark your calendars now:

Bill Anderson (fiddle), John Hildreth (guitar), Joel Keebler (bass), Matt Livingston (mandolin) from Virginia & North Carolina will be joined by Kevin Anderson (drums), from Dayton Ohio.

Ken Gall will call to them.
