Based on results of a survey of our Contra community, EFS has changed its health safety policy. As of May 2023 we will no longer require proof of COVID vaccination to attend a contra dance and wearing of masks will be optional, at the discretion of individual participants.

Caller: Rich Goss
Most weekends, and sometimes on weekdays, Rich Goss can be found in a dance hall somewhere calling, playing, doing sound, or contra dancing. He also plays percussion once or twice a year with The Portland Megaband, a 75-80 member contra orchestra! He’s called dances from coast to coast for events ranging from large to small, novice to experienced, in a driveway to very large dance halls. Rich’s goal is to call fun accessible dances with clear concise teaching, always with a good-natured, easy-going style.
