Laura Me Smith calling to Countercurrent
Join us at Black Diamond Community Hall at 7:30 to learn the ropes then at 8 pm the music takes off. Bring your all your friends young and old for a real fun time.
Countercurrent is a contra band from Western Washington made up of two band members: Alex Sturbaum and Brian Lindsey who’ve both been immersed in music most their lives. Their energetic music will have your feet flying in moments.
Laura Me
Laura Mé has not been calling since time began, only since 1980. Her succinct teaching and quick wit delight dancers near and far, young and old, brand new and experienced. Equally comfortable with contra dances, English Country dances, and squares, she’ll keep your toes tapping and your mouth grinning long after the band goes home.
There is a workshop at 7:30pm. The dances begin at 8:00. All other dance details are on the “About Our Dance” page on this website.
