Callers Thom Peterson and Karin Neils lead dances to the tunes of the Cut Finger Band! St. James Episcopal Church, 7pm June 15th. Never tried contra dancing? That's ok! Come to the beginner lesson at 6:30. Family friendly, all ages and skill levels welcome. Free event, however donations are appreciated to help cover costs and keep the dances going.
Contra is a social dance that one can attend without a partner. The dancers form couples, and the couples form sets in long lines starting from the stage and going down the length of the dance hall. Throughout the course of a dance, couples progress up and down these lines. The dance is led by a caller who teaches the sequence of figures in the dance before the music starts.
Contra Dance, June 15th!
