Music players wanted for contradance

Do you play trumpet, bass, or kazoo?
Looking for something crazy to do
to celebrate classes being through?
We’re looking for you!

The final contradance of the year will feature an Open Band: everyone is invited to participate. For the music players, there will be one brief rehearsal; no practice necessary for dancers. We’ll be playing short tunes which are easy to pick up. If you’d like to take part in the Open Band, please contact etroll@wes.

Date: Monday, Dec. 8
Time: 8:00 – 11:00 PM
Place: Beckham Hall

Contra Dance is Back!

Get our your dancing shoes (or socks or boots) and come to the Wesleyan Contra Dance!

No experience necessary! Bring a friend and dance the night away!
(For frosh: Contra dance involves several different types of traditional folk dances, kind of like a "ho down", and in the past it has brought Wes students and non-Wes people together for a rousing night of AWESOME. In fact, bring a group of friends!)

Time: 8-11 PM
Place: Beckham Hall
