 Foothill Country Dancers promotes traditional New England contra dancing in the northern Sierra Nevada foothills. Contra dancing is fun, inclusive, and friendly. No experience is necessary--all dances are taught and prompted, and no partner is required. The music is always live. FCD sponsors the annual 12-hour sprung-floor dance festival Fall Has Sprung, and two regular monthly dances: |

Nevada City
Nevada City Odd Fellows Hall, 212 Spring St. 1st Saturdays |
Auburn
Masonic Temple, 956 1/2 Lincoln Way 3rd Saturdays |

11th Annual Fall Has Sprung Saturday, November 1 Grass Valley Veterans' Hall This year we're ecstatically pleased to have the Moving Violations from New England join us as the headline band. They are incredibly fun to dance to and are widely recognized as one of the best contra bands in the country. "This wonderfully talented quintet of players," says Sing Out! magazine, "revolutionized the New England dance scene by playing traditional tunes in strange and wonderful ways." Calling with Moving Violations will be Nils Fredland, probably the smoothest and most polished caller around. The late afternoon slot will be more than ably filled by The Fiddlerats with Eric Anderson and southern California caller Jeremy Korr. And of course our own Hot Cider with Joyce Miller will kick things off with a bang at noon. |
