Details
Skilled teaching of the dances, music by a new combination of area musicians (Laurel on winds and oboe, Chris on piano, and Meg on concertina), and the most popular break theme of the year: our annual Strawberry Shortcake night! Fresh berries picked that morning, home-made shortcakes, and real whipped cream. Yum. If you can come early and help the crew prepare the berries it would be a great help!

I lead evenings of contras and squares, English country dances, family dances, school programs, and special events such as weddings, festivals, etc. I have also presented workshops on numerous dance related topics. My taste in dances is eclectic, and I tend to present a wide variety of dances when I call. My repertoire includes plenty of New England contras, as well as an assortment of squares, singing calls, mixers, old chestnuts and freshly minted dances. I have a special fondness for English country dances, and my English programs also blend old favorites with new gems.
