Favorites Night rescheduled! A program of dances that our dance group ranked highly in 2018. Two callers, fine music, and dances you will almost certainly enjoy. By unrelated coincidence, it’s also Cheese Night. Marvelous refreshment bringers take note.

 

Callers

Dan Seppeler teaching with both hands.

Dan Seppeler

A Rochester caller and choreographer of English dances with a talent for finding new and delightful dances and the confidence to try difficult material.

Richard Sauvain

Richard is the founder of Rochester’s current English dance series. His clear and persistent vision, quietly developed with his elegant, urbane style, is singularly responsible for the strong English Country Dance program Rochester has today. Beloved by all, his calling is always a pleasure to dance to.

Band

Serendipity are Barb Seppeler and Laurie Giroux.

Serendipity

Barb Seppeler, Piano, Laurie Giroux-Gillman, Flute

Pianist, music teacher and choral director, Barb Seppeler, fell hard for the beauty of the English Country Dancer repertoire, and she has made it her own with deep understanding and delicacy. Laurie Giroux – Gillman, a fellow music teacher and extraordinary flute player, is the other half of this delightful ensemble. Barb and Laurie have played regularly for dances in Rochester and all over the North East since 2012. They really have  that teamwork thing worked out.
