And we’re also looking for housing hosts for Butterfly Whirl! If you have room (bed, couch, floor space) for the out-of-towners coming to BW, please email housing coordinator Christin Whittington. Thank you!

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.

THANK YOU to all 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!

And as always, thank YOU for your support of Atlanta Contra Dance!
