Oooh Contrarians!

Come early this Friday for a pre-dance Waltz Workshop led by Tami and Ed Howe!

Back by popular demand! This engaging workshop is intended for dancers who are new to waltzing “contra style” AND for experienced contra waltzers who want to up their game with some waltz dance flourishes!

Waltz Workshop from 7 pm to 8 pm - deets here.

Then stay for the regular contra dance from 8 - 10:30 with Howe & Co. (Ed Howe on fiddle, Jason Kenney on guitar, Logan Duys on bass, and Tami Howe on percussion).

David Winston from Asheville calls the dances that will keep you in joyful motion.

Once again, deep gratitude 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!
