Howdy dancers,
We have both international and contra dance this Saturday, March 1. With luck, this winter storm should end by Saturday afternoon. So come out to dance and warm up!
The March contra dance is from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. at the Kalispell Senior Center, 403 2nd Avenue West, with music by New Money and caller Mark Mathews.
Consensus among international dancers was to meet at 7 p.m. Saturday and dance for an hour or so, then adjourn to join the contra dance. The IFD will be (as usual) at the Salvation Army Community Center, 110 Bountiful Drive.
We had a good session last week reviewing the new dances from Steam & Stomp, and we ended up repeating several of them. It's always great fun to challenge the grey matter with some new music and dance steps.
Here are upcoming IFD and related events around the region, courtesy of Cecelia and others:
May 9-11 Scandinavian Dance with Roo Lester in Salt Lake City
May 23-26 Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle
