The Vincennes Colonial/Contra Dancers are happy to have you as a sponsor for our community and several states Contra Dance on March 5 at Adams Coliseum. Our sponsors so far are United Ins Co, Executive Inn and TLC Internet Services from Bicknell. Efforts are being made to bring more sponsors on board who may be able to help promote in various ways, such as radio, newspapers, musical equipment etc. The gym is contracted, musicians and callers from Bloomington IN are contracted, we’ve set our time and arranged for the food and refreshments. Flyers are being distributed locally thanks to United Ins and the leg work of our dance group. Flyers are also going out to dance clubs in 4 states. An updated flyer we will use right up to the dance will be printed about Jan 20.
We anticipate over 100 dancers and at $6 @ would be about a break even income. We are currently so few in number in our dance club that less than 100 dancers would be a financial loss for us and since our regular dances are free to the public we don’t have any cash reserves. We hope the gate will pay all the bills but there’s no guarantee. So our mission is to bring enough local dancers in and also from the surrounding dance clubs to top the 100 dancer mark. Established dances often draw 300-400 dancers. That would be nice but for our first time we doubt that will happen. We don’t want to ask for financial help and will do everything in our power to make a successful dance.

We would like very much to bring some more sponsors on board who could help us in the media, musical equipment and possibly just recognition of the dance.
You probably have seen us doing dances at the Rendezvous in costume but our regular dances are in casual clothing and are great fun to do. Our regular dance dates at Old Town Players before our March 5 dance are Jan 7&21; Feb 4&11; and March 4, all at 7pm. We urge you to check our website at vincennesdancers.com for more information.

Our March 5 Dance will be in Adams Coliseum. The band will be the Portch Swingers with Cindy Port, Rick Nagy, Bob Port and Juliet Port. The callers will be Bill Baus and possibly Mark Richardson. Doors open at 6:30, food will be available at 7pm with beginner dance help at 7:30 and the dance to start at 8pm till 11pm. All ages, no smoking or alcohol.
