Post Labor Day open band
On the day after Labor Day we’ll share the work of making music! All musicians are welcome to join the open band. John Teskey will call. Open band has a long history in contra dancing, and it’s lots of fun, in part because people can play all sorts of instruments! Making music together is a community activity, just like dancing together. Here’s the fabulous open band in Washington, DC:

New start & end times: 7:45-9:45!
Indy Contra, effective immediately, has new start and end times for our weekly Tuesday night dances. First contra is at 7:45 and waltzing must end by 9:45! We need to have all cleanup done (chairs stacked, fans and sound equipment away, floor swept, and everybody out the door) by 10:00pm or we turn into a pumpkin. Or worse. Trust us, it won’t be pretty!

August 28th, for those who didn’t dance enough at Sugar Hill, we have guest Brian Hamshar calling.
Emily Ann Thompson with Bob Duffy Calling
