As always, more information about events and locations can be found at www.southcoastfolksociety.wordpress.com.
Special note!
Photographer
and videographer Doug Plummer is making a documentary about South Coast
Folk Week, and he's visiting our contra dance and sing-along this
weekend to shoot footage of these two monthly events. We'll introduce
Doug, so if you don't want to be filmed, let him know and he'll keep you
out of the footage. This documentary will be distributed to a wide
audience, so if you have the slightest interest in contra dancing or
singing, please come to the contra dance and sing-along this weekend and help the world learn how fabulous those things are!
Contra Dance this Saturday, Dec. 13
At
Greenacres Grange at 7 p.m. Caller: Woody Lane of Roseburg. Band: The
Eugene Barnstormers. Admission: General $7, students w/ID and seniors
over 60 $6, members $5, and supervised children under 6 free.
First-timers who arrive in time for the 7 p.m. lesson will receive a
ticket for free admission to their second dance. The dances are alcohol-
and fragrance-free.
Second Sunday Sing-Along
Sunday,
Dec. 14, 4-6 p.m., at the North Bend Library. We've got the Rise Up
Singing songbooks, but I have a feeling there'll be some Christmas
caroling too.
Celtic Session
First and third Wednesdays (Dec. 17, Jan. 7) 7-9 p.m. at Liberty Pub, 2047 Sherman Ave, North Bend. Play or listen!
International Folk Dance Friday, Dec. 26
Starts
at 7 p.m., Greenacres Grange. Teaching, followed by requests. Admission
is $4, or $3 for members of SCFS. Got out-of-town guests for Christmas?
Wouldn't this be a great place to bring them?
"But I don't know how to folk dance!"
Stacy Rose's international folk dance lessons resume 7-9 p.m., in the multipurpose room at Harding Learning Center, 755 S. 7th
St. Coos Bay. Learn fun dances to interesting music from all around the
world. Make a New Year's resolution to try something new or to
reconnect with folk dance if you used to do it. If you've always wanted
to come to our Fourth Friday International Folk Dances at Greenacres
Grange but have been intimidated because you don't think you know enough
dances, here's an opportunity to add to your repertoire. For more information, contact Stacy stacyrosedance@gmail.com or 541.808.1002 or visit http://stacyrose.weebly.com. P.S.: A punch card for dance lessons makes a great Christmas or Hanukkah gift!
