Formerly the host of Spintronica on KYRS and owner of United Groove Merchants, DJ Gaga will be spinning a live mix of techno/electronica while Ray calls traditional contra. The East Spokane Grange will be transformed for the event by the magic of fog machines and wicked lighting effects (no worries migraine suffers, we’ve banned strobes). Come dressed in your best Halloween garb and ready to win prizes in our costume contest. Join us as we Spokanites collectively realize “Huh, you can dance contra to just about anything!” Don’t worry folk bands, we love you, this is just for Halloween, so come on out at give it a go!

Tickets will be available for advanced purchase at our regular Wednesday dances leading up to the event, and every day of the week at our event partner Chairs Coffee, 113 W Indiana, Spokane, WA 99205. The more people buy in advance the better the prizes will be, so buy early and buy often. This is a great chance to bring contra curious friends and show them that contra ain’t square!
