Hey MUSICIANS We want to build our numbers of contra dance players. If you are an accomplished musician and familiar with contradance music, please contact Pat at customsportsservices@gmail.com or 954-431-0690. We have sheet music and can help you learn the style. Our goal is to get enough players to have back-up players to fill in for seasonal vacancies in our local dances. The dance must go on!
