Arden New Year's Day Eve Contra!

Arden contra AFTER DARK? On a WEDNESDAY?! That's right, we're ringing in 2025 with an evening dance party! So come on out to hear The Gigmeisters, with calling by Alex Burka!

The Gigmeisters:
Dave Wiesler - piano, guitar
Alexander Mitchell - fiddle, mandolin
Paul Oorts - musette accordeon & plucked strings
Ralph Gordon - bass

Please don't worry that you're too uncoordinated or whatever: we are here to have fun! No special outfits or shoes needed. And you don't need to know anything. Come alone, with a partner, or with friends. :)

There is an informal lesson at 2:00, and the dance is from 2:30-5:00. Lesson is helpful but not necessary to attend the dance.

Sliding scale $15-20. $12 for Arden club members, students and low-income attendees. Children 13 and under get in free. Speak to an organizer if this doesn't work for you; cost should never be prohibitive.

We don’t have a credit card reader but we accept cash (preferred for paying the band), check, Venmo or Zelle.

Join us for dinner after the dance at El Diablo Burritos - 1812 Marsh Road, Wilmington, DE.
