 What is contra dancing?

Dances during the summer (Mid May through August) are held at the 
Old Blaine Schoolhouse

located south of Moscow on the NE corner of Eid & Blaine Roads.  It's about 8 miles, drive carefully. Watch for very tight, nearly square corners on the graveled and sometimes dusty road, and of course look for awesome Potlucks before the dance!!

Event Notification Service

Timely Updates Needed?  Did you ever plan on attending a concert, then miss it because you forgot what day it was? Thanks to the electronic age, those with e-mail can now receive a reminder a few days before the event. We’ll announce any song or dance event we know about that we think PFS members will enjoy knowing about, and one doesn’t need to be a PFS member to subscribe.   Check out our email list server, join up, and get the news almost as it happens!  Use the links at the top of this page to subscribe and change your email settings, or send info for us to use as news! Techno phobic?  Just use this handy web form to send your e-address, and we’ll add you to the list.

 

Prepaid Dance Cards

Welcome to the newest benefit for PFS members... pre-paid dance cards. Have you ever wanted to come to a dance and leave your clunky purse or wallet at home? Ever forget your wallet or purse? Now you can pay for either a half a year, or a full year of dances at one time, and save money while doing so. Just present your card and get it punched when you arrive, or better yet, you can even leave the card in our files and it will be there when you arrive, light and buoyant and ready to dance. Pre-paid dance cards $30 for a half year (7 dances), or $60 for a full year (14 dances).
