Contra dance is back!

Our first contra of the year is less than a week away -

Friday, October 2nd
8:00-11:00
Beckham Hall

We have two fabulous musicians coming from Western Mass to play for us: Karen Axelrod on piano and Mary Lea on fiddle. Quality. Please join us and bring friends. It's easy and fun and everyone is welcome.

We'll also be having dances on November 13th and December 11th - mark your calendars!

We need some help to put on a big event like this, set-up, clean-up, snacks, dinner, sound... If you're interested in getting involved please email etroll@wesleyan.edu. Volunteers are always treated to a free homecooked dinner beforehand (plus it's fun).

Balfa Toujours comes to Wesleyan!


We're starting the year off with a BANG

Our first event: dance party with Balfa Toujours!
Friday September 18th 10:30 Beckham Hall

Preceded by a concert at Crowell Concert Hall, 8:00. Get your tickets at wesleyan.edu/cfa/boxoffice.

Preceded by a dance workshop at 4:30, pick up a little two-step and waltz. Not at all a pre-requisite for the dance, just some extra info for the curious.

Thanks to the CFA for sponsoring an entire night of wonderful Cajun music!
If you're curious about Balfa Toujours, check out their website balfatoujours.com, or this video:
