The Nelson Contra Dance Society presents an evening with the traditional French duo Vazzy (www.vazzy.ca) on Friday, January 15 at the Central School Gym, 811 Stanley St., Nelson.

The dances, all from Quebec except for one “Metis” dance, will include formations in quadrilles, squares, contra-dances and more. The “calling” will be in English…  Bryn Wilkin will be playing fiddle and Suzanne Leclerc will be calling and keeping time with the authentic foot percussion of French-Canada.

Dance instruction is at 7; the dance starts at 7:30.  Admission is $7 for adults and $ 5 for youth.  Bring clean footwear.  Water is provided.
