You're invited! Contra dance: Fun for Plum Village monastics as well as laypeople.

This is a true story: we hosted a contra dance at the Plum Village Monastery in Bordeaux, France in July. About three hundred people joined in, including nuns. Come discover why contra dancing is delightful regardless of prior experience.

Calling by Ellen Hostetter and live music by Rob Matson (a/k/a Kind Understanding of the Source). Both practice with the River Valley group.

Ellen and Rob are experienced contra dance hosts, with over 38 contra dances including five at EBS in their pocket. They make it easy and fun for all. No experience? No problem. Two left feet? No problem. Curious but a bit nervous? No problem. Bringing a child or a parent? No problem! This is one of those things where simplicity is fun.
