The Rainforest Council for the Arts is sponsoring a Contra Dance on Friday, May 6th, at the Rainforest Art Center in Forks. Dance lessons will be offered at 7PM, and the dance starts at 7:30PM. Desserts will be available. Admission is a suggested $6.00 donation.This is an unusual, and excellent, opportunity to expand our local dances beyond Port Angeles/Sequim.
Northwest Folklife provides four straight days of contra on Memorial Weekend (May 27-30), with hundreds of people on the dance floor at the same time. Even better, it’s free! Remember to act soon to find a place to stay in Seattle; it’s a busy weekend.
A reminder that we have our own dance at Black Diamond this weekend. See you there! https://www.facebook.com/events/1709867702609973/
