Tom Hinds and C'ville Contra are offering a 4-week Caller's Workshop

The workshop will be held each Tuesday evening through February 3rd.
Workshop location is Bill Adams' house at 732 Elliot Avenue
Charlottesville (in the Belmont district).
Cost is $25.


Workshop goals include learning the musical structure of contra dance tunes,
dance choreography notation, fitting the dance to the music and working
with the musicians, teaching the dance, the fundamentals of dance calling,
and coordinating the end of the dance with dancers and musicians.
We will follow-up the workshop with an Open Mic night at the Friday night
dance to give those interested the chance to call a dance or two.
