Our Fall to January Dance Schedule

The season starts with Cascade Crossing

Cascade Crossing are “Great friends who love to play music together… We have been playing for contradances across the Pacific Northwest for the last 15 years”. Featured are Lori Prime on fiddle, Rich Goss on guitar and Carl Thor on piano. Lori is one of our Board members and Rich has called dances for us.

Callers :  Anne Peterson and Megan Tucker

Megan Tucker is a Eugene-based contra caller relatively new to the microphone, but has spent decades on the dance floor. She brings a dancer’s deep appreciation for good flow, satisfying choreography, and the magic of a room moving together. Over the past year, she’s called dances in Portland and Eugene and sought out experience at house dances.
