Harvest Moon—What's That?

Harvest Moon Dance Festival, September 28-30, is Santa Barbara’s yearly premier contra dance camp. Based on current enrollment numbers, this year will be the biggest Harvest Moon ever and it will be held entirely at the Carrillo Ballroom. And we still have room for more dancers!

Notorious, an outstanding six-piece band, will get you completely in the groove. Musicians include Larry Unger, guitar and banjo player extraordinaire; Eden MacAdam-Somer, an exciting and versatile fiddler; Sam Bartlett, a mandolin master; Mark Hellenburg, an incredible percussionist; Ralph Gordon, driving on cello and bass; plus special guest, Bill Tomczak, on clarinet and saxophone. Virginia caller, Shawn Brenneman, is a top- notch caller calling clear, concise, smooth dances. The East Coast dancers love her!

Besides having more contra dancing then ever, you can waltz on both mornings. On Saturday afternoon, choose between Swing dancing to legendary Rob Rio or English Country dancing to L.A.’s renowned Bonfire. And don’t miss the post-Harvest Moon Sunday evening dance with Notorious and Shawn, 7-10 p.m., $10.
