Special events and announcements ...
(scroll down for general calendar)

More dancers = more fun! Please invite your friends to join this list-serve
(FORWARD THIS MESSAGE PLEASE)! Bring a NEW person dancing! Want your CNY
contra event listed on this newsletter? Email it to me! I am trying to cover
CNY dances within about a 2 hour drive circle around Ithaca. But bigger
events at 3 hours are news for dancers! Old-songs, Dance Flurry, etc. By the
way, I only list events with LIVE music. One of the wonderful things about
contra dancing is that it supports and encourages live music! :-)







Contra and English related Calendar ...
