The warm and skillful caller, Sarah VanNorstrand on stage tonight!  Local favorites, Arugula, make happy, fun music.

Caller

Sarah VanNorstrand

Sarah VanNorstrand has been calling, organizing and teaching contra, square, and family/community dances for seven years, and more recently has been expanding into calling English dances. She has a clear and engaging teaching style and a great repertoire of dances to share. Instantly hooked from her first contra dance as a teen, Sarah’s love of dance and her joy in sharing it with all who will is evident and infectious. Above all, her goal as a caller is to make sure the dancers are having as much fun as she is!

Band

Arugula band has Fred on bass, Mike on fiddle, Silvia on flute and Barb on piano.

Arugula

Mike Hoeschele (fiddle & mandolin), Silvia Sörensen (flute), Barb Seppeler (piano), Fred Filbrich (bass)

Dependably enjoyable Rochester regulars, Arugula plays for both Contra and English Country dances.
