Bring music or chords if you have them and share a little of what you are working on. There will not be an audience. We just go round in a circle picking a favorite tune, and others try to join in. Perfection not even considered! Come join us.

September 20th: 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.

This will be our first dance back in the 1912 Center. We're in for a treat, as its been over year since we last had a chance to dance to the music of Loose Palouse. The band features the expert hammered dulcimer playing of Lawrence Huntley, Rita McAdoo's lively fiddle, the guitar and bouzouki playing of David Christian and Daniel Green holding down the low end on bass. They can turn out some groovy tunes to dance too. Joseph Erhard-Hudson will work his usual magic with some awesome dances. What fun! See you there!

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.
