I live in a small town called Luck in Northwestern

start a monthly or bimonthly contra dance here.
Bonne chance!
I have only been to a few
contra dances, I don't know any dances, and
certainly don't have any experience
as a caller. I know a band who I think is well capable and interested in
playing the music, but we don't know of anyone in the area that is familiar with
or could lead a contra dance. So my questions are two:
Does anyone know of anyone in the Polk county area
capable of being a caller?
if not
How can a complete beginner like me learn the system and enough dances to become
a caller? Are there any books, resources, workshops, etc. that would help me?

Really. Go there, follow the links, read the stuff, then come back and ask for
any clarification or guidance you need.
Best,
