Contra Dance
Music by Three Fifths of Scotch
(Debra Tayleur, Elizabeth Todd & Beth Christian)
Calling by Dane Wallinga
Our lovely local ladies, Debra Tayleur, Elizabeth Todd, and Beth Christian, will be delighting us with their Traditional and maybe not so traditional music, all of it guaranteed to be danceable. It’s always a rousing good time when Three Fifths of Scotch comes to play. As a special treat, our caller will be Dane Wallinga, the San Francisco Bay Area phenom that makes Saturday night’s contra dance a hot ticket.

Not sure what Contra Dance is? See videos and learn more by checking out our About Contra Dance page. If you're feeling nervous about learning how to contra dance, we even have links to beginning dancers' training videos on YouTube – they are a wonderful help, though nothing replaces dancing as a way to learn. Please be aware that some of our dancers are sensitive to fragrances – we respectfully request that everyone please be thoughtful and not use products with fragrance prior to a contra dance. Thank you! |
