 Welcome to the Unitarian Universalist Society of Iowa City


Music and Dance at UUSIC


Choir
The UUSIC choir performs the musical meditation for services one Sunday each month, and responses on other selected Sundays. New members are always welcome – we have no auditions. We rehearse on Thursdays at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary (or the library) – feel free to join in! If you have questions, please contact our music director, Barbara Buddin by phone (
339-7432) or email.

In addition to the UUSIC choir, each Sunday service includes special music, which ranges from traditional to classical to jazz and folk, performed by local artists and society members. 

Dances of Universal Peace
From September through April, members and friends gather for Dances of Universal Peace -- simple folk dance movements, practiced in combination with chanting or singing of sacred words and phrases from the world’s spiritual traditions. Dance circles like ours, found throughout the world, celebrate the unity and diversity of all beings and foster connections among people. No experience is needed, instruction is provided by Virginia Melroy, a certified leader of the dances. For more information, please contact Virginia by email, or phone 338-1778.

Drum Circle
The Yahoo Drummers meet the first Wednesday of each month in Channing Hall at 7 PM for an inclusive, fun, and rhythmic community of all styles and stripes. Bring your own instrument, or use available cow bells, Native American prayer drum, Latin conga – you’ll find room for your song! For more information about Dances of Universal Peace or Drum Circle, attend one of our gatherings, or contact Cliff Missen by email, or phone 338-8542.

Live Music Interest Group
This group meets once a month at a live music venue in Iowa City. Please check the UUSIC calendar to learn when we are meeting this month.
