First Saturday Contra Dance

About this event

This is a no-official-host contra dance at the Fulton Community Center, 68 SW Miles Street in Portland. All are welcome! Music from **Front of House** (Lori Shaffer and Ben Blechman on fiddle -- that's *two* fiddles for you fiddle lovers) with creative keyboardist Mark Douglass providing a solid beat. **Frannie Marr**, a longtime favorite Pacific NW caller now living in the Portland area, leads the evening. Lesson for newcomers at 7 pm, then dancing from 7:30 to 10:30 with a short break halfway through. Bring water, clothing appropriate for indoor aerobic activity and smooth-soled shoes for dancing. Please do not wear scented products. Cost: $15 suggested entry fee allows us to break even; sliding scale is available. Covid protocols: full vaccination and mask-wearing is recommended but not required. **Note:** There are always plenty of dancers on the floor irrespective of how many people RSVP via Meetup.
