Rockin' Ready for Summer Soirée
2012 - June 15-17
Waitlist ONLY for 2012! We are full - inlcuding "under 25" spaces -- I encourage you to sign up - many things will change between now and June 15!
Our stellar line up includes the country's favorite contra duo, Perpetual eMotion and the Amazing Giant Robot Dance! Callers are Contra Rock Star Nils Fredland and Summer Soirée's beloved MaggieJo Saylor, the undisputed Queen of Offbeat Dances!
If you haven't already joined our Group on Facebook, please visit Friends of Summer Soireé. Facebook is the fastest way to communicate with contra dancers, so announcements are made there first, and on the website immediately thereafter.
We will have Sunderland Hall dorms this year, so many of our dancers will stay in air conditioned comfort.
