Big Scioty’s next dance will be supercharged by the music of Raven & Goose, featuring the fiery fiddling of Corwin Zekley and the rhythmic piano work of Grace Fellows. The British-based musicians are making their Big Scioty debut after wowing dancers last year at All Soles. (You can hear some of their music here -

Calling will be provided by Cincinnati’s Liz Burkhart, who has proved herself over and over at local dances and as one of the featured callers at last year’s Winter WarmUp dance weekend.
When, where: 8 to 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, at Clinton Heights Lutheran Church, 15 Clinton Heights Ave., Columbus. If you’re new to contra dance or a little rusty, plan to arrive at 7:30 p.m. for a quick and easy lesson.
Cost: $10 ($7 for members), $5 ($3) for ages 12-26, free for children under 12. Which reminds us, this is the perfect time to renew your membership and enjoy dancing at a discount while helping to support Big Scioty. Annual memberships are $15 for ages 27 and over, $5 for ages 12-26. Also available are sponsorships (beginning at $100, $50 for ages 12-26), which entitle you to free admission to all eight of this season’s dances.
Role terms: Most of our callers use the non-gendered terms “larks and robins” rather than the more traditional “gents and ladies.” But no matter which terms are used, dancers are welcome to choose whatever roles they prefer. These are, after all, simply roles!
Miscellaneous: Parking is available in the church lot or on neighborhood streets. Feel free to bring a snack to share, and please bring a water bottle for your own use.
