Since Céili Class is over for the year and on hiatus for the moment while Griff and I decide if we can keep teaching, I thought I'd post some other semi-related dancing opportunities for those of you who also have itchy feet. :)
This Saturday there is, as it says in the post title, an opportunity to do some Contra dancing here in Bend, Oregon. For those who don't know, Contra is an American (well, it comes from Appalachia/New England) type of folk dance that's kind of a mix of English, Scottish and French--all three of which are related to Irish. So, if you've taken our class, or done Victorian or Scottish dance classes here in town there will definitely be moves/figures you'll recognize. Usually with a twist that makes them Contra as opposed to anything else, but still. It's been a while since we got to go to Contra, but if I remember correctly it's similar to English in that there isn't any or much footwork which makes it pretty easy to pick up. Griff and I are definitely hoping to at least stop by and dance a little and we would love to see you there too! So, on to the details-- When: Saturday, December 12th at 7pm (They're having a tamale dinner beforehand though if anyone is interested) Where: The Boys and Girls Club (500 NW Wall Street) Please wear clean dance shoes to help preserve their floor. Admission: $8/person (Or $20 for the dinner and dancing) If you have more questions Bend Community Contra Dance's website is here. Otherwise, hope to see you there!
