The Mardi Gras Celebration in Vincennes Saturday night was a great time for all! The Cajun music was fantastic and J.C. Jones from Nashville TN did a very good job of teaching us some Cajun dance steps that actually were used a lot during the concert. We were well represented with Ruthie, Charlie, Ann, Diana, Jack and myself. Our friends Ken and Pat Neighbors were crowned King and Queen by virtue of finding the trinket in the piece of cake that Pat received. They also will get a 3 day vacation to the New Orleans Mardi Gras. BTW we had flyers sitting out for our Contra Dance Group and there was interest expressed. Also we do dance to Cajun music some at our dances.
Regular Contra Dancers don't forget to come and help during the VU Contra Dance Course this Friday Feb 8 and again Feb 15. Room B05 in the P.E. Complex. 7 PM.
Our next regularly scheduled Contra Dance at the Old Town Players Theatre will be on Feb 22 with practice at 6:30 and Contra Dancing from 7 to 9 pm, As always it is free and the rankest of beginners are welcome. Singles, couples or the whole family. For those of you unfamiliar with this type of dancing it is an interactive group dance (you dance with all the other dancers) to easy to follow calls from the caller (usually me). Everybody usually dances and there are no wallflowers and rejections are very rare.
A side note you may be interested in is the FREE BLUEGRASS JAM for the public to be held in VU's Student Union on 2nd St. this Sunday Feb 10th from 10 am to 5 pm. Musicians are invited to bring their instruments and join in. Food and drink are available. Parking in the lot behind the Student Union.
