Contra Dancing Group, Photo by Davey
“Hands Four”
is the traditional call that begins every contra dance.
That is your invitation to find a partner, join a long line of people and join hands with a neighboring couple.
March 19, 2010 . . .
from 8 p.m. till 11 p.m.
With basic lessons at 7:30
Skamokawa Grange Hall
Small groups of four are formed all the way down the line and dancers eagerly wait for instructions. The caller, Rich Goss with the band, “Cascade Crossing,” announces a series of moves and the dancers walk through the dance a couple of times. When the dancers are comfortable with the sequence of moves, the band starts playing, the caller calls the figures and the dancers put it all into a fluid motion. What happens next is pure magic. For the next ten minutes, the dancers meet, separate, weave, reunite and swing.
Admission is $8 per adult. . . under 12 with adult – FREE.
Refreshments available.
Fundraiser co-sponsored by the Skamokawa and Grays River Granges.
“Hands Four” information gathered from The Commonspace.
