Contra dance May 4th

Last Contra Dance of the semester this Friday!

Hi everyone!

The last dance of this semester will be this Friday, May 4th.

8-11 pm

Beckham Hall
(on Wyllys Ave., on the Wesleyan campus)

As is our tradition for the last dance of the semester, we'll have an open band and open calling.  If you're interested in playing in the band, email Micah Wylde (mwylde [at] wesleyan.edu), and if you're interested in calling, email Emma Gorin (egorin [at] wesleyan.edu).  We'd love to have you on stage!

As always, the dance is free for everyone (though we appreciate your donations.)

Beginners more than welcome! We'll see you on Friday!

No April 13th Dance...

We're very sad to announce that we're cancelling our scheduled April 13th contra dance. Due to event conflicts on campus, we cannot dance in our regular location, and there were no other suitable campus locations available.

We'll be dancing again, however, on Friday May 4th. See you then!
