Caller

Chuck Abell

In his caller persona, Chuck Abell brings us challenging dances that will exercise your mind and tickle your fancy with their intricate beauty. Chuck organizes the monthly caller meetings in Rochester to workshop new dances. He debuted his “DJ Abell” persona at our 2017 Thanksgiving Festival, with a Taste of Techno Contra session.

Band

Center Street

Tim Ball, fiddle, Rebecca Bosworth-Clemens, clarinet, Casey Murray, cello

Three young, outstanding musicians fuse creativity, musicianship, and repertoire for exuberant music. Rebecca Bosworth-Clemens (Great Bear), Tim Ball (Tempest, Arise & Go), and Casey Murray (Corner House, Ginger Majority) join forces as Center Street — playing contra dance music for getting your groove on and feeling good.

“Center Street is dance music at its elemental best.  Beautiful melodies, driving rhythm, powerful playing.  The interplay among these three musicians is pure joy; the exact sound that makes you run across the hall, grab your favorite partner and dance the night away!”
