Valentine's Contra Dance with Snapfinger & Rob & Amanda this Friday!
Join us each Friday from 7:30 - 10:30 pm
Hello Lovers of Contra Dance,

Maximize your Valentine’s fun with Snapfinger!
They’ve been working on some Valentine’s tunes!
Alan Gordon (mandolin, guitar, banjo),
Michael Hughes (guitar, clawhammer banjo))
Leila Soulen or Caroline Parnass on fiddle.
Rob & Amanda will call some Sweetheart dances. 💕💕
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.
And let me remind you of a midweek opportunity:
If you’ve ever wanted to try calling a dance in a safe, supportive place …
If you want to learn how to fit a dance to the perfect piece of music (consult the house band wizards!) …
If you want to dance more than just on Fridays …
Come to the Wednesday evening caller practice at Quiman Lam’s! Text him at 404-429-9164 for more info and directions. Hope to see you there!
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.
We could not function without 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!
