Saturday, Feb 25th there is the Valentine’s Day Contra Dance at the Big Yellow Merville Hall. Fiddle music, hearts and flowers will fill the hall along with the coruscating commands from our dance callers, who will demurely bark out directions to keep the dancers organized and having fun.
As usual, there will be a short Contra Dance workshop right before the dance. From 7:00 to 7:29, the callers will introduce the swooning swingers to new moves as well as teach the basic Contra steps.
At 7:30, on Cupid’s command, the Funtime Fiddlers will start the music and the gaiety begins. Singles can pair up with anyone during the Contras and there will be spot prizes, along with romance. The aroma of chocolate, candied hearts and pork rinds will waft from the canteen and love will be in the air. Along with the Contra dances, the fiddlers will also play waltzes, polkas and novelty tunes.
So, Saturday, February 25th, rattle your daggs, guide your Pumpkin Princess carriage up to the Big Yellow Merville Dance Hall and join us for a romantically good time. Doors open at 7:00, dance starts at 7:30pm. Cost is $10.00/adults, $5.00/youth (6 and under free) and you can come as a family for $22.00. Free workshop starts at 7:00.
