Merry Classic Contra dance music tonight from Knives & Forks backing local callers, Chuck Abell and Sharon Perry, who will be sharing the mic tonight. We look forward to the inventive dances Chuck has gathered as a traveling Contra caller and dance musician.  Sharon is a long-time caller who has been on hiatus; we welcome her back to the stage.

Callers

Chuck Abell

In his caller persona, Chuck Abell brings us challenging dances that will exercise your mind and tickle your fancy with their intricate beauty. Chuck organizes the monthly caller meetings in Rochester to workshop new dances. He debuted his “DJ Abell” persona at our 2017 Thanksgiving Festival, with a Taste of Techno Contra session.

Sharon Perry

Sharon Perry was a long-time local caller who refined her skills at contra caller’s camp sponsored by the Country Dance and Song Society at Pinewoods.  Sharon exhibited a calm demeanor and called both regionally and up and down the east coast.
