[Callers] Open Mike Calling Opportunity, March 4, Medway, MA

The Medway Contra Dance series, at Christ Episcopal Church on School Street in Medway, Massachusetts, will sponsor an Open Mike evening on Saturday, March 4, 2006, 7:30 - 10:30 pm. This is the third of Medway's open mike evenings that I have MC'd. These events have introduced several people to their very first experiences in calling contras for dancers. Now it's your turn! Please contact me, by phone or e-mail below, if you'd like to participate. We'll discuss the dances you'd like to call, and I'll help answer any questions you may have so that you can feel confident about enjoying the experience. Medway is a true community dance where anybody and everybody may show up to dance - young and old, brand-new and experienced dancers. It is a relatively small dance venue, although last month over sixty dancers were on the floor. Your dance choices should be at an easy to moderate dancing skill level. The band will be White Squall, consisting of Andrew Grover, Ned Quist, and Alice Pace. Unlike the white squall currently howling outside my window, they are warm and friendly and looking forward to backing you up with great music! The Medway dance organizers are eager to encourage new callers to get on stage. As Rick Veneski wrote to me: "You can say, "Watch, Rick is going to call a dance, and he has no idea what he is doing. So, if he can do it, anyone can." :-) For more information about the Medway dance, including the full 2005-2006 schedule and directions to the hall, go to: http://www.contradancelinks.com/medway.html ---------------------------------------------------- Robert Jon Golder 164 Maxfield Street robertgolder(a)comcast.net New Bedford, MA 02740 (508) 999-2486 voice
