Not your conventional "battle of the bands," this event features the two finalists of a national competition for young emerging chamber music ensembles. Selected by a panel of professional musicians, these finalists each perform a short program which is evaluated on site by the judges. Audience members also are invited to weigh in to select their favorite. Chamber Music in Yellow Springs is one of a small number of sponsors of such programs, designed to support and promote emerging talent in the field. Check the website for an announcement about the featured ensembles chosen for this year.

Let the rhythms lift your feet and your spirits! Join us on first Fridays to dance, socialize, or just sit and listen to some of the best bands and callers in the region. The music and caller are always live.
Dayton’s dances have evolved to be very welcoming to dancers of all ages and all levels of experience. This family-friendly dance is alcohol-free and smoke-free. No experience is necessary, and you don’t need to bring a partner. The caller teaches all dances before they start.
Contra dancing is fun and dynamic. Dance patterns are performed by couples in two lines. A live caller provides instruction before each dance begins and prompts dancers as the dance begins and throughout the dance when needed. Live bands provide the beat. There is no right or wrong way to dance, but there is a hard and easy way to execute every movement. The easiest way is always the best, most enjoyable, and lives to become traditional. Joining in the nightly lesson is a great way to get comfortable with the basics.Dress comfortably, especially shoes! It is not necessary to bring your own partner; there are plenty of folks to switch off and dance with. Dayton Contra Dance Parties welcome all people, of all ages, beginning and more experienced, singles and couples, to join in, providing a good time from your very first dance visit!
