Beavington, Nelson All Messages By This Member #39 ??????????????? Oct 21 Ground Effect & Koren Wake Experience contra love????with Vancouver's newest contradance band,?Ground?Effect: Prairie Wolfe (fiddle, percussion), Claire McCague (sax, recorder, triangle) + special friends. Ground?Effect?plays perennial favourites and new originals for a night that will send you head over heels into contra bliss. Seattle's dynamic young caller, Koren Wake shoots the arrow. Koren Wake (Seattle) rose onto the Pacific Northwest contra caller circuit in 2022, bringing a perspective borne from decades of dancing, loving, and analyzing contra. Combining clear and accessible teaching with exquisitely tasteful dance selection, she cultivates an exciting evening that brings dancers of all skill levels together on the floor. Koren is looking forward to her international calling debut in Vancouver! Facebook Event: MEETING! Bring your ideas, see how it all works, and support your dance community at our Annual General Meeting! Everyone welcome! 7:00 Thursday October 26 by Zoom: ????????????????????????? Nov 18 Subzero Glitter Fridge & Maureen Collier Bet you're still hot from their last dance at VCD! Now, you'll be steaming again with Bellingham's Sub-Zero Glitter Fridge - the only name that so far has dared to attempt defining this mysterious trio of Bellingham-based Celtic music investigators. Simultaneously frosty and electrified, darkling and dazzling, SZGF provides reliable, prolonged music that is unquestionably necessary and yet a little more luxury than you thought you needed. Guaranteed to take up lots of valuable floorspace, store cake and ice cream responsibly. Now with higher emissions, Cayley Schmid on fiddle, Sam Vogt on guitar, and David Pender Lofgren on bodhran. Vancouver's own Maureen Collier will elevate the temperature. Facebook Event: ? ???????????????? Dec 16 Sybaritic Stringband & Bob Rentz Celebrate the holidays with the joy of dance! The Sybaritic Stringband?will?enliven your feet with a spirited blend of Irish, Scottish, Quebecois and old-time tunes. Our new fiddler, Sheila Allan, joins Leith Davis (piano,?fiddle & double bass), Claire McCague (recorders & saxophone) and Rob McGregor (mandolin). Prepare to dance the night away to this energetic mixture of styles and sounds. Bring treats to share; festive attire encouraged; caroling at the break. Vancouver's ever delightful Bob Rentz calls!
