to Contra Dance Des Moines
Keep That Old-time Fiddle and Community Dance Groove Alive!

Lining up some of the best of the Midwest, we have Melon Farmer Band with Reid Miller calling.

You know you want to dance in community - and we’ve got the goods - a contraband load full of great music!  Call it a CONTRA Indication that you're gonna have FUN!  It's good for what ails ya, and just what the doctor ordered!!!

Des Moines Social Club (DMSC)

900 Mulberry St

Saturday, April 9, 7:30pm. 

FREE parking in the Wells Fargo Ramp across 9th St.  Enter from Mulberry St.

You'll enjoy grooving to the tunes of Melon Farmer Band: Merle Hall, Billy Kearney, and Jon Duvick (fiddle, banjo, and guitar), and the superb calling of Reid Miller.

Admission donation is $5-$15 (give what you can); 12 & under free; $25 family maximum....to cover costs of the hall and pay the band and caller. Snacks to share at break are welcome.

Come early and dance late.  Experienced dancers set the welcoming tone and quicken the learning curve by showing new contra dancers the moves. Everyone starts somewhere.  Share your experience and love for the dance community. 

Look for easier dances early and more challenging dances after.  Watch for a techno contra (or 2), too; black light attire and glow sticks recommended. 

Please Refrain From Wearing Fragrances
Bring Your Re-useable Water Bottle for Hydration

Wear indoor shoes, and comfy, breathable clothes

Head to Malo for beverages and conversation afterwards

Please Forward, Tweet, Tumblr, etc, Like, Share, and Invite Facebook Friends to the dance.
