Jean Gibson-Gorrindo hails from a little coastal town near San Luis Obispo, CA called Los Osos. She started contra dancing in San Luis Obispo in 1987. In 1995, or thereabouts, she was asked to step up to the mic, as the need for a local caller had arisen. That opportunity pivoted into a career spanning the past thirty years, including calling dances in many different states, several tours, plus a few dance weekends and festivals. Jean is known for her strong teaching and musical skills, her rhythmic vocal quality, and her knack for finding dances that enhance the joy and connection of contra dancing. For her, that is what contra dancing is all about!

Composed of Marta Lynch (fiddle) and Bob Silberstein (mandolin, piano, and doumbek), both formerly of The Crabapples, the Little Big Band can do it all!

Newcomer’s orientation is offered at 6:40 pm, perfect for people who have not contra danced before, or who could use a refresher. Experienced dancers are invited to partner with newcomers during the orientation and early dances to help integrate them into the community. No partners are needed, so come by yourself or with friends or with family. Events are accessible to people with disabilities. Potluck snacks are available at the break, and we encourage you to bring something to share.

Food and Drink

Hydration is important while dancing. Dancers are encouraged to bring their own water bottles.

Please bring snacks to share with the community. Dancers may eat in the area near the food table or outside. Please don’t spill food or water on the dance floor.
