Hi there Contrarians,

This Friday brings a new configuration of local musicians you know and love: The Parsnips (Bob Kirkman on fiddle, Teri Abler on fiddle and viola, and Stven Carlberg on piano). Choreographing the dances is our own Janet Shepherd!

If you can, come early to help newcomers learn the basics! Intro lesson starts at 7:30, and the dance runs from 8 till 10:30. Click here for more info.

Weekly gentle reminder: please check in and pay at the Decatur Rec staff desk before entering the dance hall. Regular admission is $15; people with limited income can pay $7. 

As always, thank you the VOLUNTEERS who keep our dance running smoothly! Here’s how you can help:

• Come early to help with heavy lifting for Sound setup

• Sweep the dance floor before the dance

• Set out chairs and fans 

• Assemble the caller stand

• Keep the info desk supplied with name tags and markers

• Sweep the dance floor after the dance

• Help put away chairs, tables, sound equipment, fans, and caller stand - we must be out of the building by 11 pm!

• Enjoy a “bit and a bite” at a local eatery after the dance - to celebrate a job well done!

We couldn’t do this without you—thank YOU for your support of Atlanta Contra Dance!
