Our Friday night Contra dance is still on at 7 pm with pitch in snack foods and beverages. Hope to see a nice sized bunch of people there.

Our part with Contra instruction for the dancers at the Terre Haute Wabash Senior Citizens Center fundraiser dance workshop has been rescheduled to 2 pm due to my conflict here in Bicknell helping with our first Bicknell Farmers Market of the year. We will do some contra there at 2 pm for an hour and then do Cajun dancing to cajun music from 3 to 4. Im excited about showing some of our dancing to a nice group of newcomers and hope that we will see some of them here some time. You are welcome to attend. $15 Buys you workshops and dancing from 10 AM till at least 5 pm, and then evening dancing from 7 to 9. $5 if you are attending the evening dance only. I am looking forward to it.

We had another disappointing attempt to have a contra dance Friday night and the only ones beside myself to attend were Ruthie and Charlie who drove 100 miles to get here. They also tend to Ruthies house in Linton so it was not a wasted trip but they did drive some distance and hoped to dance.
 
We don’t want our dance to fail and my fiancee from the Philippines is anxious to Contra dance with us when she arrives this summer. Lets don’t disappoint her and let’s get our numbers back up to where we want them with more numbers of dancers. It is really true with this that ‘the more the merrier’ is accurate.
 
To those of you who have been here but were disappointed with a small turnout, we really want you back and since we need to start thinking ‘self promotion’ see if we can invite more folks who might like some good dancing and for FREE!

Tomorrow Friday May 6th at 7 pm will be another Contra dance doing really fun group contra dances to outstanding music while dancing with your partner and most of the others in the group. Contra is called from a pre choreographed dance instruction and folks often have the dance memorized part way through the dance. So it is exercise for the mind as well as the body. And you will meet great new friends. No smoking or alcohol. And the dance is FREE. This is really different from the ‘do your own thing’ type of dancing.  It is really not hard as at one of our recent dances youngsters under 10 were able to master the dance and had a great time while doing it. view vincennesdancers.com for more information.
