Big Scioty’s February contra dance will benefit from the incomparable calling of Pittsburgh’s Gaye Fifer, whose clear instruction and firm but friendly style makes even beginners feel like experts! The music will be provided by the talented Athens-based trio Trillium, consisting of Mark Barsamian on fiddle, Mark Delozier on piano and Zeke Hutchison on mandolin.

ADMISSION: $10 ($7 for members), $5 for ages 12-26 ($3 for members), free for children under 12. Memberships are $12/year.
COVID health protocols: All dancers must be vaxxed and (if eligible) boosted and must wear an effective mask such as an N95, KN95, KF94 or a blue disposable mask. (To ask about other acceptable masks, email bigsciotycontra@gmail.com.) If needed, masks will be provided for free (first mask) or $1 (subsequent masks). The two local contra groups (Big Scioty and All Soles) have compiled a list of dancers who’ve met the vaccination requirements.
