CLASSES
Portland's callers are inaugurating an irregular schedule of workshops to help new callers get started, and to allow the experienced callers to work out new dances and figures. We have excellent live music lined up, potluck snacks, no admission charge, but we will need 8-12 volunteer dancers for each 2-hour session. We hope to have a web sign up page soon, but contact nkm@bubbaguitar.com if you want to be a dancer or learn to call dances.
