Let the Dance Floor Feel Your Leather


Free Dance Class Offered in North Bend – Traditional Dance Lessons

    The South Coast Folk Society is offering a free traditional dance class every Monday evening in North Bend from 7-9PM.  All are welcome to experience the joy of dancing to traditional music from around the world.  This is a new class for all levels, and it’s free.  Volunteers from the Folk Society Orchestra will be there playing live music every week.  Traditional dances are appropriate for beginners and experienced dancers alike. 
    This public class meets every Monday for two hours at the North Bend Housing Authority community activity room.  It starts at 7:00PM.  Singles, couples and families can all enjoy this casual friendly social gathering.  Drop-ins are also encouraged to attend.  Every session is new, a fresh start, and all the dances are taught.  Registration is not required.  The Housing Authority is located at 1700 Monroe Street in North Bend, just three blocks west of the library on Connecticut Avenue.
    All ages can have fun dancing to live music played by talented local musicians. The emphasis will be on traditional dances from America, Europe, and around the world.  These include circles, line dances, set dances, folk, and ballroom dances.  New musicians are invited to join the band.  For more information email  southcoastfolksociety@gmail.com or call Paul at 541-404-8267.  Monday, February 18, is a good time to join this lighthearted group of social dancers.

Earthly Delights (Your mother can know about!)

Come early for Macaw feather earings and support a poor suffering bird with sinus trouble so he can spread his wings and swear like a sailor. It's both cultural and educational. Where else would school children hear such language? Do you want them to pick it up in the school yard?
