December 7th, 2013 Contra Dance
December 7 2013 with Red Crow Band playing and Michael Karcher calling
We had Red Crow play for our dance last June. Everybody loved them, and they loved playing for us SO MUCH, we are having them back in December. They specialize in merging their music with the dancers to create unity in the hall.
Michael called for our September dance this year, and everyone loved his calling, so we had to have him back. When he isn’t calling, he’s pursuing a PhD in statistics at the University of Washington and dancing in and around Seattle.
(Remember, he’ll do a free workshop at7:30)
