The large, the famous, the annual
Monterey Monster Open Band Benefit Dance
It’s the annual Monterey Monster Band benefit contra dance open to any and all who want to pick up that fiddle, guitar, flute, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, bongo, harp, washtub bass, or kazoo. It’s a grand time for those who play an instrument to jump in and jam, and a great time to come dance, too! Andy Shore from Aptos will be calling. Fun? Yes! (Proceeds benefit MCDC)

Not sure what Contra Dance is? See videos and learn more by checking out our About Contra Dance page. If you're feeling nervous about learning how to contra dance, we even have links to beginning dancers' training videos on YouTube – they are a wonderful help, though nothing replaces dancing as a way to learn. Please be aware that some of our dancers are sensitive to fragrances – we respectfully request that everyone please be thoughtful and not use products with fragrance prior to a contra dance. Thank you! |
