Time: 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Beginner lesson: 7:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Location: Fairhaven Library Auditorium (enter through side door). 1117 12th St., Fairhaven

Band: From Bellingham and Seattle we have Claire Furtwangler on cello, Rosie O’Neil on guitar and Elise Snoey on fiddle. From the high cascades to the glacial crystal waters, these lassies have scoured the raw unadultered majesty of nature and by the brilliance of their bowstrings return to distill the alpine burbling brook, the seashore whispering winds, and the multitues of marvelous maples into a melodic triumph of dance music. The tapping of your toes will evoke the elk, the spinning of your torso will evoke the whirling maple seeds seeking new life, and the grasp of all hands four will evoke the impossibly intricate web of the interdepenDANCE.

Caller: From Seattle we have Elisabeth Monica. Verily not a harmonica, I hear rather by vocal sonic, a choreogrpahy leader of footwork calligraphy and setting the triple line hall geography into harmony. By that caller’s solliloquy, we shan’t be silly really, but our souls will lilt merrily, it is a revelry as we dock at Fairhaven for our dance, you see, it is elegant, deep as the eyes of gypsy.

Entry: $12-$15; $8 students (by donation)
