The Medway Contra Dance series will sponsor an Open Mike evening on
Saturday, March 5, 2005, 7:30 - 10:30 pm. This is the second of Medway's
open mike evenings that I have MC'd. The first evening was a great success,
and I am looking forward to even better results with participation from
members of this list!
The number of dances that each individual caller will lead depends upon
the number of participating callers. Last time we had four callers so each
participant called at least two dances.
My requests to participants are few: 1) Contact me if you're interested.
2) After contacting me, develop a list of three or four dances that you'd
like to call. I'll then edit the selections so that we have varied
choreography throughout the evening (for example, we don't want six of the
evening's dances to have a hey-for-four). 3) If possible, I'd like
participants to stay and dance for the whole evening, so that you can
support the other callers when they're at the microphone.
For over five years, I have very much enjoyed calling contras at Medway.
Medway is a small dance, held in a lovely hall. It is a true community
dance. Your dance choices should be at an easy to moderate dancing skill
level. The band will be Heathen Creek (this is a change from earlier posted
information).
If you enjoy calling at Medway, and Medway's dancers enjoy your calling,
I'm confident that the dance organizers will consider you for a full evening
of calling in next season's schedule.

schedule and directions to the hall, go to:

Please let me know if you'd like to call at Medway! .... Bob
