We love traditional music and dance! Join in our Contra Dances, come to Cascade Contras, our annual music and dance camp, or try Morris Dancing. Everyone is welcome! If you’re new to EFS click here for more info,
WE’RE EXCITED! We will be dancing at a new location this fall – Edison Elementary School at 1328 E 22nd Ave in Eugene, four blocks south of UO’s Hayward Field. Edison School is a new, modern building with a gym that has tons of room for contra dancing!
In order to prepare for this move, we won’t have a dance in September. Our first regular contra dance this fall will be at Edison School on Saturday, October 12 featuring music by Campaign for Reel Time with Karen Olsen calling. We’ll see you there!
