Camp Meeting on the 4th of July

This evening, as part of the 4th of July festivities in Winthrop, we presented a contradance... this continues as part of our Summer Beginner's Series. A rousing success, we had probalby30+ people in attendance, either as dancers or as listeners. We are new to calling, and new also to using the sound system... but somehow it's all working out. As musicians, we are not brand new, but we are still certainly developing our sound and arrangements... As a whole, it was amazing, watching folks who are new to contradancing or even those who may have done some of it before... and our experienced friends who came in support who still looked like they were having fun!

Two more opportunities to learn this style of community social dancing... Aug 4 in Wayne at the Ladd Center, and Aug 11 in Vienna at the Post Office... please come out and try it if you haven't already. All dances are taught, no partner is necessary, and no experience is required... It's a great exercise regimen for couple of hours, and a really great way to interact with members of your community...

We continue to learn more about putting on these programs, and gain confidence & experience in the process.
