Introductory Workshop 7:00-7:30
Contra Dance 7:30-10:30pm
Dessert Potluck during the break

There will be an Introductory Contra Dance Workshop at 7:00 p.m., so bring your friends even if they don't know how to contra dance yet - we'll get them up and running and having a ball!

Bring someone new to contra to the intro session and you BOTH get into the workshop and dance free.

Caller:

Music by The Forks Of Nature
  • Jon Cannon (fiddle, mandolin)
  • Jonah Sidman (fiddle)
  • Kirsten Lamb (bass, banjo, vocals)
  • Rowen Caplan (guitar, vocals)

Forks of Nature, a newcomer to the Boston contra scene, is a gleeful experiment in genre-bending, high-energy dance music. Double fiddles Jonathan Cannon and Jonah Sidman draw from their extensive repertoire of Irish, Canadian, jazz, gypsy, and klezmer tunes. Bassist Kirsten Lamb and guitarist Rowen Caplan join them with accompaniment, duo vocals, and more. The sum is a toe-tapping, string-slapping good time for dancers and musicians alike.
