It's Contra time again this weekend!
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. Even if you haven't tried any of those things, we would still definitely encourage you to come try it out. Folk dancing is usually designed to be friendly to beginners. For example, this Saturday, January 15th, at 7:00pm, there's a lesson before the actual dancing begins at 7:30pm. It is also likely that each dance will be taught before the music starts and that the moves will be called before you're expected to do them. So, grab comfy shoes and a water bottle, and bring your $8 and yourself to the Boys and Girls Club (500 NW Wall Street) this Saturday. Griff and I are going to try and go and we'd love to see you there! For more information, check out Bend Community Contra's website.
