Come Dance with Us! Contradance is a folk dance made up of long lines of couples. It has mixed origins in English country dance, Scottish, and French dance styles of the 17th century, with a strong Appalachian influence. It is energetic, joyful, and family-friendly. We invite anyone who enjoys live music and fun to experience this form of dance. No experience is necessary to contradance. An introduction to contradancing precedes the dance to allow the beginner to learn enough to start dancing and then to learn more throughout the evening. Everyone is welcome! No partner required! We will be dancing on Friday evening starting at 7:30 for beginners with the regular dance to run from 8 to 11. We would appreciate experienced dancers to come at 7:30 to mentor the beginners. $10 admission at the door or $8 for members. Annual memberships are available for $15.

Gypsy Jazz with Tim Kliphuis and Alfonso Ponticelli at MSUB

7 p.m. – 9 p.m. A very special evening of worldclass Gypsy Jazz music! Awardwinning violin legend Tim Kliphuis (Holland) teams up with America’s top Gypsy jazz guitarist, Alfonso Ponticelli (Chicago) to highlight the music of famed musical duo Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt. Re-creating the 1930s in Paris, and drawing inspiration from current-day Gypsy, classical and folk music as well, they alternate moments of dazzling interplay with melancholy and sheer exhilaration, in an inspired musical journey. Tim Kliphuis is a master of the violin and a wizard of sound. Using classical, Gypsy jazz and folk he has created a unique style that is making waves in concert halls across the globe. Guitarist Alfonso Ponticelli is the driving force of Gypsy jazz in the city of Chicago. His guitar style effortlessly combines Gypsy, flamenco (which he studied in Spain with Manolo Sanlucár) and traditional American folk. The event will be held at Cecil Hall on the MSU-Billings Campus.
