the back stairs.) For any interested folk musicians. All experience levels
welcome, including raw beginners. We may go over a piece more than once.

share a little of what you are working on. There will not be an audience. We

April 18th: Saturday: CONTRA DANCE with music
by the River City Ramblers and calling by Nora Scott, at the 1912 Center
(Corner of 3rd St and Van Buren in Moscow). 7:30 PM.
You'll want to be sure that you make it to
this dance. The River City Ramblers have been a mainstay at contra dances on
the palouse for many a year. That's because they're simply wonderful. And it's
been too long a while since they've played down here in moscow. This Spokane
old-time string band features fiddler Judy Lungren, Bill Siems on mandolin,
Dawn Holladay on guitar and Michael Gifford holding down the low end on bass.
Lively dance music for contras is guaranteed. And Nora Scott from Spokane
will be calling. Nora is one of the most experienced callers in the area. And she’s
wonderful with newer dancers, so plan to drag some friends along to join in the
fun! There’ll be some wonderful dancing!
Beginner? No problem- Arrive at 7:30 and
there are free lessons.
No Partner? No worry. There are lots of
dancers - many would like to dance with you. All dances are taught. Singles,
families & beginners are always welcome. Children are always FREE
Free dance lessons at 7:30, 8-10:30 Dance.
Admission: $10 for members, $12 for non-members, students $8 and new dancers get
in for $5.
