\*\*As it says in the title, the tickets are now technically gone, but if you get on the list quickly, you should have a decent chance to nab one!\*\* I've been describing Nusantara Beat to people as the Indonesian Altin Gun, which is kind of true but not the whole story. They essentially blend trad Indonesian folk music (by way of Amsterdam) with elements of funk and psych rock - it's very 70s-ish to my ears, but also very danceable, which you don't see at every show. Here are some pseudo-live songs: Tamat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBNmVtan21I Sifat Manusia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9Hg9BGyL38 Bakat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHtBCJnKkqA Tickets are sub-£16 including booking fee and they're available [here](https://dice.fm/event/3oey9x-nusantara-beat-30th-jan-moth-club-london-tickets). Doors open at half seven so let's meet for a pre-drink at the Cock Tavern at seven and head in for the support band around eight.

Friday night Brazilian zouk dance class followed by socialising, drinks and practice dance. A fun dance class 7.30-9 pm where you'll meet lots of first-time dancers and get to know everyone before dancing the night away and socialising. There is a discount for the beginner's class! No experience is required, and you don't need to bring a partner, as partners change regularly to enable everyone to get to know each other. Most people come by themselves and make new friends! After the class, the club night goes on till midnight with DJs and a bar. The venue is hired out exclusively for the people who come for dance classes and practice. The cost is usually £15 but if you're on the guestlist for meetup it's only £10 for the whole evening. Make sure your name is on the guest list!

**Caller: Dan Kappus** **Band: Trillium** **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!
