Its getting to be really good fun again with enough people to really make it go. Im talking about us having around 15 last night with some more new ones and all doing some of our favorite contra dances includig waltzes and even a swing toward the end of the dance. We welcomed back members of the swing dance lessons from VU and their high energy level as well as that of the teenagers really kept things going. This is a special invitation to the folks who havent been here for a while to come back and enjoy the bigger numbers of contra dancers with us.

Our next dance will be a week from tonight, SATURDAY February 19th from 7 to 9:30 and we will do CAJUN dances to Cajun music only. Cajun instruction will be provided and if you have ever watched Cajun dancing on 'you tube' you know you want to be here to enjoy it with us. This will be a good kick off for the Mardi Gras season and will give you a head start on dancing at the Vincennes Mardi Gras the following week.

Our dances at OTP are scheduled through the month of May and here is the schedule. Feb 19th; Mar 11th and Mar 25th; April 8th and 29th; and May 6th and May 20th. Since we schedule around OTP activities we are not always in the same position of the month. We can even vary the night of the week. Be sure to write down the dates.

A new idea was brought up last night with favorable response and that is to hold some dances when the weather is warmer on the balcony of the OTP building on the Broadway Street side. Im sure we would be noticed and might even gain some new dancers. Its plenty big enough to hold many dancers and is plenty strong enough.

Remember Cajun Dancing Sat. Feb 19th at OTP, 5th and Broadway in Vincennes, 7 to 9:30 pm.
