Our next contra dance at Channing-Murray will be on Friday, June 23. However, there are a couple of dance opportunities this coming weekend.
On Friday, June 2 I will be calling a dance for the Steampunk festival in Bloomington, Illinois. The band will be the Bandicoots from Chicago with Meg Dedolph and Jonathan Whitall from The Cosmic Otters, along with Jeremy Ward on cello. The dance will be held at the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts and starts at 7 p.m.
Then on Sunday, June 4 there will be a free contra dance at Channing-Murray in Urbana. This will be part of the Center For the Arts (C4A) Fiddle Weekend in Urbana. The dance will be from 3 to 5 in the afternoon. Kristi Emilsson will be calling and the band will be Patt and Possum plus members of the weekend faculty and fiddle orchestra. Masks will be required while dancing, but proof of vaccination is not.
