New dancer introductory session at 2:30 pm
Handspring WOWWED us at Contrastock in October, so we’re thrilled they’re back! We’re in for an afternoon of delightfully inspired, driving dance tunes played by Alex Mitchell (fiddle/mandolin), Owen Morrison (guitar/foot percussion), and Carrie Rose (flute/piccolo). Janine Smith calls the figures. Expect a ton of fun, a nice variety of dances, and, maybe, a few little shenanigans.
$15 cash or Venmo $17 (includes fee) at the door, no cards
The Bumper Car Pavilion is a wonderful covered open-air space with a nice wooden floor. Heavy plastic side curtains and overhead radiant heaters keep us toasty warm throughout the winter months, no matter the weather.
