Meet Me in St Louis 2024

Jump to Registration Jump to Schedule Jump to Housing

When:

Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-27, 2024

Music by:

Audacious Audrey Jaber (Knuth), Larry Unger, Glen Loper

And by:

Roger Wilco (Rinn Netherton & Bill Boyer)
From St Louis and full! of surprises. Rinn and Bill played at earlier MMISL weekends and we received lots of requests to bring them back.

Calling by:

Bob Isaacs from Princeton, NJ, is a prolific choreographer of creative dances. Bob is known for his clear calling of flowing contras and amazing hot grid squares.

Also calling:

A roster of local and regional volunteers
This is an experiment. We have had such great calling from the top national callers we have used in the past - but we also have a lot of great callers who attend the weekend to dance who have expressed and interest in calling - so why not have both?

Contact TBA to sign up to call.

Location:

Different location: Not Kirkwood, but Webster Groves.
Webster University Center Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
(University Center, 175 Edgar Rd, Webster Groves, MO 63119, USA)
Monday dances are at The Monday Club where our regular weekly dances take place.

Clean shoes are required at the University Center. If you wore your dancing shoes out on concrete, please be ready to scrub off and otherwise remove all grit before dancing in their gym.
