We are thrilled to have Dan leading the dances again, after experiencing his calling talent, energy, and friendly stage presence at our recent Masquerade Ball!  Arugula is ready with the music: two violins, flute, piano and bass. Note that this dance is at the usual contra location, Covenant United.
