Contra & Square Dance with Fresh Cider and Woody Lane

Fresh Cider is a long-standing band in Seattle. They played for us last year, and are back again! 

Woody Lane A caller for more than 25 years, Woody Lane is known for his smooth contras, fast squares, and superb programming. His teaching style is clear and concise. Also an accomplished clogger, he often accompanies the band as a foot percussionist, raising the energy level on the dance floor to wonderful heights. Woody has brought his exciting brand of calling to dances from Alaska to Florida to Boston, and he has a growing reputation throughout the country. A veteran of many calling tours around the U.S., he has also been on staff at numerous dance weekends, including camps in Montana, Oregon, New Mexico, Alaska, Kentucky, and the 2008 National Folk Festival in Butte, Montana. Woody lives in Roseburg, Oregon, in the beautiful southwest corner of the state.
