Hello Dancers, Happy New Year!
The first Kalispell Contra dance of the year will be Saturday, Jan. 4. Since quite a few international dancers also enjoy contra, we will cancel international dancing. However, we could gather before the contra dance for a few international dances, if there's enough interest. Let me know.
The Contra Dance will be at the Kalispell Senior Center at 403 2nd Avenue West. Dance from 7:30-10:30 PM to musicians New Money with caller Mark Mathews. Contra dancing is New England style folk dancing to live music of Celtic jigs and reels done in long lines or a continuous circle of partners. Because it is a lively mixer with everyone dancing with each other, a dance partner is not required. All dance abilities are welcomed with lessons beginning at 7:30 PM. Each dance throughout the evening begins with a walk-through. Children ages 10 and older are encouraged to join in on the dance floor. Contra dancing is family-friendly event. No smoking or drinking are allowed. Participants are encouraged to bring snacks to share during break. Admission is $8/adults, $5/high school and college students, $18/families. For more information, contact Sherry at 261-2029 or Joe at 253-1895.
Several have asked about Steam and Stomp. This year, the Steam and Stomp International Folk Dance will be February 15 and 16 at Boulder Hot Springs. That's only about six weeks away! For the Saturday workshops or party only, without meal purchase, there's no need to register ahead; just show up! Those staying overnight should make hotel reservations directly with Boulder Hot Springs.
