February Dance Information

Okay, the February contra dance in Ukiah will be Saturday, the 13th--that's the day before Valentine's Day. Why not bring a friend and have a wonderful time, dancing to energetic LIVE music?

In fact, why not bring several friends, make it an occasion? The more dancers there are, the more fun the dancing is, and the energy in the hall is contagious.

I'll be there, and I plan to bring along someone who has never been to a contra dance. Ask the people you meet in classes, at the health club, waiting in the dentist's office.

See you there!

Hello out there....

Several of us who live in the Ukiah area and love contra dancing got together to toss around ideas on how to reach out to others in our community, who obviously don't know what a wonderful thing Contra Dance is.

Each month talented musicians come from far and wide (some are local, some from the Greater Bay Area) to play terrific toe-tapping music for us to dance to. Callers (those who guide us through each dance) who are patient and creative and also love to dance come to encourage us and facilitate our enjoyment.

One of our thoughts was to start a blog, as well as a facebook page. I just tried to create a link, but need to learn more. Meanwhile, it's a facebook group, Ukiah Contra Dance Group. Maybe someone who is facebook-savvy could help me here?

So here we are. Tell all your friends. If you already love Contra Dance, come next time (Feb 13, 2010) and bring a friend. It's more fun with more dancers.

Welcome to our blog

Well, here it is: the first post on the brand new blog for Ukiah Contra Dancers. We plan to post information on upcoming dances, including the dates, location, callers and musicians. From time to time we will have feedback from participants as well.

So for our first entry, here is the current flier/poster, for our dance TOMORROW evening.

And further information about Contra Dance as a genre will follow. Meanwhile, welcome, and DO join us for lots of fun.
