musicians. All experience levels welcome, including raw beginners. We may go

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

December 16th: Saturday: CONTRA DANCE with
music by Loose Palouse and calling by Joseph Erhard-Hudson, at the 1912 Center
(Corner of 3rd St and Van Buren in Moscow). 7:30 PM.
We have the perfect way to warm up a frosty
wintry evening, Contra dancing to the lively music of Loose Palouse and the
calling of Joseph Erhard-Hudson. Our band features the expert hammered dulcimer
playing of Lawrence Huntley, Rita McAdoo's delightful fiddling, the guitar and bouzouki playing of David Christian and
Daniel Green holding down the low end on bass. Joseph Erhard-Hudson will bring
his box of magic dances. He's one of our favorite and most experienced callers.
Remember how much fun we had dancing to these folks at the pie dance this past
summer? What fun! We'll see you there!
In keeping with the times, masks and vaccines
are optional. At this time few are wearing masks on our dance floor, and we
love to see you if you are healthy, mask or no mask. If you are sick, or have
been recently, or have potentially vulnerable folks at home, we would urge you
to avoid coming to the dance. As we trust you know, it is quite possible Covid
can be at any close public event such as this one.
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
