— from Michele Wiley for Sail Orcas —
OIYC is sponsoring an open Contra (Folk) Dance at West Sound Community Center benefit Sail Orcas. Each couple dances with each other couple in the line. Today Scotch, Irish, French Canadian jigs, reels, polkas etc. are knit into a celebration just as seafaring villagers did in 1700s. Host, caller and live band entertain, demonstrate and, organize the event. Basic steps for all ages. Great time.
