Musicians Meet-up @ Roxy
Once a month we gather at Roxy for an open jam session. You never know who’s going to show up – and that’s the beauty of it: new and exciting line-ups are created every time.
The vibe is relaxed, spontaneous, and open to everyone. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, grab an instrument or the mic and give it a try! We often jam on popular covers, but original songs are always welcome too.
The main goal: make music together, learn from each other, and connect for possible future projects.

African Drumming Classes
### [Info and Registration African Drumming](https://forms.gle/wSUGNXMjHBDSePNaA)
### **African Drumming – Feel the Groove!**
Discover the joy of rhythm and community through the vibrant beats of West African drumming. In this course, you’ll learn traditional and modern rhythms on djembes and doundouns (bass drums and bells) — all in a fun, structured, and hands-on way.
We’ll explore the essentials of rhythm and groove, from understanding pulse, beat, and cycle to experiencing how different instruments interact in an ensemble. You’ll play, listen, improvise, and even create your own arrangements together with the group.
Body percussion exercises help you *feel* rhythm from head to toe, while guided theory inputs deepen your understanding of African musical structures — intros, solos, signals, and more.
Our holistic approach connects body, mind, and soul. Through intuitive rhythm games, easy-to-follow exercises, and attention to technique, you’ll build coordination, confidence, and a relaxed, flowing playing style.
Structured learning materials (notation and videos) support your practice between sessions — so you can keep the groove going wherever you are!
A funny and welcoming group is awaiting YOU!
**Reduced rates for holders of IV/AHV and Kulturlegi!**
Trial session is possible.

Contra dance with Big Scioty on March 7 - First Congregational Church
**Caller: Frank Buschelmann**
**Band: The Rosenthorns**
**Big Scioty Contra Dance**
**temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/)
Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
