Caller
Pamela Goddard
Ithaca caller and singer Pamela Goddard has an engaging, confident and witty style. Her clear and patient teaching make her popular with our dancers.
Band
Jane and Cat
Jane Knoeck (piano), Catherine Sloboda (violin)
Entrancing violin and imaginative piano playing from this very experienced duo.
Jane Knoeck is the doyenne of Rochester dance piano for both English country and contra. She is a member of the nationally touring band, The Groovemongers, as well as River Bend, Sister Haggis, and others reaching back over many years. It’s always a great night for dancing when Jane is on stage.
Catherine’s fiddling is energizing, sensitive, and creates music with that elusive quality of danceability. In the early ’90’s, Catherine was a member of the Sloboda family band, Glenrose, who played for many contra and family dances. She is a member of the bands Lake Effect, Bellamira, Quicksilver, and many other combinations of local dance musicians.
