Contra dance with Big Scioty April 11 - Clinton Heights Lutheran church
**Caller: Kim Thompson**
**Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra**
**Clinton Heights Lutheran Church**
**15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like youโve seen in period films such as โPride and Prejudiceโ, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. Thatโs English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like โswing your partnerโ and โdo-si-do,โ like youโve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alรก โRiverdance.โ 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. THATโs 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.
Short North Street Skate | Weekly Rollout
Short North Street Skates return Saturday, April 4 and weโre excited to get back rolling together.
These weekly rollouts are a chance to move through the city as a group, build community, and create more visibility for skating and small-wheeled movement in Columbus.
Details:
Meet: 1160 N High St
9:30 AM meet
10:00 AM rollout
All wheels welcome
Weโll be skating through the Short North and surrounding areas at a steady, social pace. Routes will use a mix of streets and bike lanes, so comfort navigating the city is helpful, but you donโt need to be an expert.
If youโve been meaning to come out, this is a great place to start.
Come solo or bring a friend!

Rave Curious? Jessica Audiffred @ Otherworld
Have you always wanted to check out a raveโฆ but didnโt know where to start?
This is your chance.
Whether you're a seasoned headbanger or completely new, weโd love to have you out.
On April 11, Jessica Audiffred is taking over Otherworld โ and this is *not* your typical venue. Itโs a massive immersive art space filled with surreal rooms, hidden passages, and interactive exhibitsโฆ and for this show, almost all of it is open.
So youโre not just going to a concert โ youโre stepping into an environment:
๐ง A high-energy bass set that you *feel*
๐ A labyrinth of trippy, explorable art spaces
๐ฏโโ๏ธ A group to go with so youโre not figuring it out alone
You can lose yourself in the crowd, disappear into another room, find something completely unexpected, and then come back right as the drop hits.
No pressure, no โright wayโ to do it โ just explore, move, and take it in at your own pace.
๐ Otherworld, Columbus
๐ April 11
๐ Doors open at 10:15 PM (music does not start in the exhibit space until 10:30 PM.)
If youโve been even a little curious about what this scene is like, this is one of the most unique ways to experience it.
RSVP if youโre in ๐
Thereโs no cost to attend with the groupโjust the event ticket for Otherworld. Tickets are $40, plus some fees ๐.
You can use code "BassBuds" or "Bangers" for $5 off, which makes it \~$43 out the door.
