It seems we kind of alternate between really good Contra Dances and weak ones due to attendance. Last Fidays dance was a really good one with several couples of enthusiastic dancers who seemed to really enjoy the dancing and even stayed for some bonus dances after closing time. We welcomed 2 new dancers and it was good to see some old friends back again. We did have 3 more men than ladies so in order to get as many couples as possible on the floor I volunteered to be the lady in some of the dances. (Jack was my partner again!). Thanks to the gentlemen who were good natured when it came time to dance with me in the dances. Oh well, its all in fun and everyone seemed to have a great time.
This coming Friday May 21 is our second dance in May, same time and place. (Practice starts at 7 pm with Contra from 7:30 to 9:30 Vincennes time, and we again dance at the Old Town Players Theatre at 5th and Broadway). Someone suggested a street dance or a parking lot dance and it is being considered. I will check with the city to see if power is available in the parking lot and if we could use it. Will cover this in your reminder email this week.
We have just one dance in June on the 11th and one in July on July 9th. Please mark these dates down. Check our web at vincennesdancers.com and while on our site check 'about us' to bring up contra dances on You Tube. It should arouse your interest.
