Doors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm

Fall means Fiddle here in the Comox Valley.  On Saturday, November 12th, the Fiddlejam Funtime Fiddlers will play for your dancing pleasure at the Big Yellow Merville Hall.  Baby, it’s cold outside, but it will be warm as a hot chilli pepper inside as the crowd revs up to the stage full of musicians keeping a driving beat.  Meanwhile, caller June Cannon will keep everyone stepping lively as she maps out the moves for the dancers to follow.   The hall will be a merry place.   Generally there is a Contra Dance workshop right before the dance.  From 7:00 to 7:29, June will introduce the dancers to new moves as well as teach the basic moves. 
 
At 7:30, on the button, the Funtime Fiddlers start the music and the dancing begins.  Families and single dancers are very welcome.  Singles can pair up with anyone during the Contras and our Contra sets last about 15 to 20 minutes.  We’ll also have other dance styles. There is a dance for everyone at this hoedown!!
 
The lighting is cozy, the crowd is friendly and everyone is welcome so Saturday, November 12th, plot a course for the Big Yellow Merville Dance Hall, right on the Old Island Highway, between Campbell River and Courtenay.  Doors open at 7:00, dance starts at 7:30pm.  Cost is $10.00/adults, $5.00/youth and you can come as a family for $22.00.
