Joe Michaels calls with Kate Powers and David Rivers playing

Kate Powers was first introduced to the violin through a scholarship from the Washington Old-Time Fiddlers in 2010. Some of her most recent paths include becoming part of the PC College Jazz Ensemble. Kate enjoys composing and writes much of the music she plays. She teaches herself fiddle and also takes Classical lessons with Ronald Patterson in Seattle. 

David Rivers has been playing guitar with Kate at our dance for several years. He studied at Berkeley School of Music and developed stunning guitar skills to keep dancers’ feet moving with joy.

Joe Michaels has called at numerous dances, parties, and classes throughout the Pacific Northwest, California, and Canada.
He particularly enjoys seeing people who have never participated before, dancing within a couple of minutes. He is always happy to discuss the fellowship and community building aspects of traditional dance.

Lindsey Dono
Calling to
Countercurrents

A Massachusetts transplant, Lindsey Dono began dancing in high school and calling in college. With her calm teaching, careful programming, and sunny demeanor, she can coax even the most skittish beginner onto the dance floor. Lindsey also leads workshops for intermediate and advanced dancers that focus on safety, creativity, and community. When not involved with contra, Lindsey conducts immunology research, practices lindy hop, and crews on a racing yacht.





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. This winter the two have be on tour in the Bay Area after creating an awesome album successfully funded by Kickstarter.







  There is a workshop at 7:30pm.  The dance begins at 8:00.  All other dance details are on the “About Our Dance” page on this website.
