Third Saturday Contra Dance

Posted January 12, 2020 at 5:47 am by

Our caller this month is Amy Wimmer from Seattle. Amy and her husband Tom run the weekly dance at the Phinney Ridge Community Center, and Amy is a master at providing folks with a good time!

The band this month is our own Spuds, who you’ve seen playing at the farmers market and other local events. The band consists of two couples, Jim Nollman on mandolin, Katy Nollman on banjo, Val White on fiddle and Malcolm Suttles on guitar. It will be a special evening with this crew so you’d best tie on your dancing shoes and join the crowd!

As always with contra dance, each dance is taught by the caller, and since we are encouraged to change partners for each dance, you do not need to bring a partner along with you. New dancers come each time so don’t think you can’t do it, you can!
