Come at 7 for a lesson in the basics. The caller teaches and guides each dance. If you can walk, you can dance! Come alone or bring a friend, wear what you like (with comfortable shoes), and dance whichever role you like, gender-neutral. Martha Wild will call this dance, with live music by Barbara Mangone and Pete Polansky. On Oct 3 the caller will be Diana Livada with music by Dan Sankey and Joe Payne. On November 7 Ellie Konitshek will call, and the Cactus Lickers will play. Please see https://sdfolkheritage.org/contradance/ for more information, times, and locations.
