Details
Cat Sloboda and Tom Santarsiero have been playing for contras and ECD around Western New York for years. Relatively new to our stage, and a powerhouse pianist, Alex Fortier joins with Cat and Tom for a new combination. Bob Nicholson is one of our beloved callers in WNY. You’re sure to have a good time when Bob calls.
Admission is charged on a sliding scale, with $12 as the suggested donation. Our admission fees don’t cover all our costs, so feel free to pay more if you can. We offer an introduction to contra dancing starting at 7:00.
