Mark Your Calendars Now: June 15-17, 2012 for Summer Soirée -- the hottest dance weekend ticket of the summer season just got hotter! 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 announcments
are made there first, and on the website immediately thereafter.
Registration dates for 2012: TBA, but we are aiming for the first week in April. Last year we sold out in 48 hours, as too many folks will remember (sorry - we do wish EVERYone could participate) so please do watch this space. We are offering a sponsorship opportunity this year, to allow dancers who are sure they want to attend, to help sponsor a scholarship position, and as a "thank you" will have a space reserved for 2012. Details!! We will have Sunderland Hall dorms this year, so many of our dancers will stay in air conditioned comfort. Sponsors will have first dibs on Sunderland rooms. Don't forget: the easiest way to be informed is to join our Group on Facebook:
Thank you!! If you missed 2011, you can enjoy vicariously with some extraordinary photos by Kevin Riggs and videos by John Newsome. Here's my favorite techno contra video from John. More videos from Summer Soirée 2011 by John Newsome: Videos from 2010 (thank you, John Newsome):
