Second Dance: Friday 15th May, 2015.
Following the success of the first event (see http://barndancecaller.net/exetercontra.html), the next Contra Dance will be held at The Kenn Centre, Exeter on Friday 15th May, 2015.
Beginners’ tuition at 7:30pm, main dance 8pm to 10:30pm.
Cost is only £4 per person.
The Kenn Centre (www.kenncentre.co.uk) has a lovely modern large hall with ample parking. It's just a few miles outside Exeter and is easily accessible from the M5/A30/A38/A380. Satnav: EX6 7UE
The caller is Jeremy Child (http://barndancecaller.net/index.html), an experienced contra caller who has recently returned from a calling tour of South Eastern US. You may have seen him and his rather bright orange shirt calling at Willand, Sidford and Bridport.
We will be using recorded music, so you can dance along to your favourite English bands such as Vertical Expression, English Contra Dance Band, Arden Folk, Blowzabella, Fiddlin' Around and The Night Before, as well as some of the top American Contra Bands such as Yankee Ingenuity, Wild Asparagus, Contraforce and Perpetual e-Motion.
There will be a short interval for tea / coffee at around 9:15. Soft drinks, tea, coffee and biscuits will be available f.o.c. but there is no bar.
