Eugene Barnstormers Play April 2 Contra Dance in Coos Bay

The Eugene Barnstormers will be back on stage for another exciting evening of Contra Dancing hosted by the South Coast Folk Society.  On Saturday evening, April 2, The Barnstormers will play their unique blend of lively, old-timey music for three hours beginning at 7PM.  The Barnstormers are a perennial favorite of the local dance community.  Their infectious rhythms will make you feel like dancing all night.  

Join the fun at the Harding Learning Center located at 755 S. 7th in Coos Bay.  Doors open at 6:45, and lessons begin at 7.  Contra dancing is appropriate for singles, couples and families, and no experience is necessary.  First timers who arrive for the 7PM lesson will receive a ticket for free admission to their next dance.

The guest caller for the evening is Karen Olsen of Myrtle Point.  She will teach basic steps and figures during the lesson, and introduce more advanced moves as the evening progresses.  After the lesson, Karen will present a full evening of interesting dances.  Her calling style creates a light-hearted, energizing space for all dancers.  Karen’s calls blend seamlessly with the music of the Barnstormers and make dancing joyful.  Contra dancing is an invigorating new form of social dancing loved by dancers of all ages, so wear your dancing shoes, and a big smile.
