August Contra Dance @ Chauncey Fest
Advertisement
Our August contra dance will look a bit different! We are teaming up with the New Chauncey Neighborhood and their Street Fest on Saturday, August 8!
WHO: All are welcome! We should have some new participants from the neighborhood party as well! YAY :-)
WHAT: Community contra dance (no beginner lesson this month, it will be easier dances anyone can do with one walk-through, but also a GREAT way to get new people interested!)
WHERE: The dance will take place on N. Chauncey Street in West Lafayette between Meridian Street and Smiley Street. Map coordinates: 40.4340299, -86.9070703
Park at UU and walk down Smiley Street!
Bring a dish to share if you are able - it's a neighborhood potluck party!
Remember to bring $5-20 for caller and musician support!
WHY: It's good for your mental health--let's build community!
HOW: Dances are made possible through sponsorship from Indiana Fiddlers Gathering and participants who give what they can ($5-20) to support our caller and band.

The details for this month:
Caller: Lisa Sutton from Valparaiso!
Band: Bum Ditty Barn Dance Band! They were double-booked, so we decided to make it a proper party!

What is Contra Dance?
Contra dance is a form of folk dancing made up of long lines of couples. A caller leads the dance, teaching the steps and calling out moves. It's great fun for all ages.
Unlike some other social dances, contra is a group activity. Over the course of each dance, you interact with everyone in your contra line. Your partner is like a teammate, moving with you up and down the line.
