Come celebrate St Patrick’s day and dance to the jigs and reels of the Celtic world. Outermost Contra Dance is a lively alternative to the usual bar scene.
This month long-time Rhode Island caller, Paul Wilde, will be calling Outermost Contra’s family-friendly contra dance leading contras and mixers. We are also honored to welcome back renowned pianist Jacqueline Schwab (jacquelineschwab.com), playing with Boston area contra dance fiddler Gianna Marzilli Ericson. Their up-tempo tunes and lilting harmonies inspire dancers and listeners alike.
Contra dancing is the older cousin to the square dance. No fancy footwork needed – if you can walk, you can dance! All the dances are taught and called. No need to bring a partner to join our friendly dance community.
If you’re new to contra dance, or just want to polish your skills be sure to come at 6:30 for a “Contra Skills” workshop.
Come to dance or come just to listen. All are welcome. Admission is $15, $10 for those under 30, $5 with student ID
