The Chambana Jan Jam dance weekend is coming up in just a few days. Admissions are sold out and registration is closed, so I hope everyone who wanted to come got registered in time. There is a wait list in case there are any last minute cancellations, so see the website if you are still interested in going. http://www.urbana-contra.org/jan_jam.html Due to the timing of Jan Jam our regular schedule of dances for this month is different than usual. Typically our dances are on the 1st and 3rd Fridays, but since Jan Jam starts on the 2nd Friday our next dance will be on the 4th Friday. So our next dance after Jan Jam will be on Friday, January 24 at the Channing-Murray Foundation. It will be another great evening of music and dance with Meadowhawk playing and Miriam Larson calling. If I don't see you at Jan Jam, I hope to see you on the 24th. Jonathan
