Join us for contradance night as we welcome a new trio to the Rose Room stage: Matt, Cat and Alex!
🎶 Lively Fiddling – The driving tunes of Matt Sloboda on the fiddle will have you twirling across the dance floor.
🎶 Rhythmic Interplay – Alex Fortier sets the pulse and highlights the harmonies for a night of energetic movement.
🎶 Groovy Harmonies – Catherine Sloboda’s creative counterpoint for Matt’s melodies adds excitement to every tune.
All dances taught: Our caller Evan DeSmitt has a delightful box of contra dances for the evening, with a good mix of simpler ones to get you going and allow for flourishes to more complex ones to challenge your skills.
Experience the magic of contradancing, where all are welcome, and no partner or experience is necessary. Bring your friends, family, and fellow dance enthusiasts for a night of lively music, connection, and community.
We have a sliding scale admission policy, with a target of $12. Pay more if you can, less if you can’t – come dance!
