We usually meet at 7:00 at (or near) New Morning Bakery on 2nd Street in downtown Corvallis to carpool to the Eugene dance. (If you see someone standing around, don’t be shy, ask if they’re going to the Eugene dance.)

If there’s a pre-dance potluck, we’d need to leave at about 5:00. So, if you want to share a ride to the potluck, post your info here. (Thus, it’s possible to have two carpools: one to the potluck at 5:00, and another to the dance at 7:00.)

Hang in there! It can take some time and practice to be comfortable with all the moves, but we’ve all been there and are better for the experience. This is the place to post comments or questions about the dance, tecniques, or whatever else you might like to know. (And be sure to check back for responses.)

At long last we have a blog on which to post news about dances, pre-dance potlucks, carpools, or other dance related issues, and to allow dancers to ask questions or share comments with everyone in the Contra dance community.
