Swingin’ Tern Contra Dances

August 5, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

$5 – $15

Contra dancing with callers Sue Gola and Karen Justin, and live music by Rhythmic Heart.

A long-time contra dancer, Sue Gola was drawn into calling contras in 2014. Since then, she has called at dances both large and small throughout the Northeast. Sue gives instructions concisely and clearly, and has a friendly way about her that makes dancers feel welcome.

New to the caller’s mike, Karen Justin has wowed the dancers so far with her engaging personality, calm teaching, and choice of dances.

Not one to skip a beat, Rhythmic Heart mixes old-timey, jazz, Celtic, and New England traditional tunes with occasional notes of new age and rock. The four chambers of Rhythmic Heart are Anna Bosnick on fiddle, Norma Castle on flute and percussion, Doug Healy on guitar, banjo, and djembe, and Robin Russell on keyboard.

Admission: $15 General Admission, $5 Students

Beginner’s Workshop before the dance, 7:00pm – 7:30pm.

COVID PROTOCOL: Masks and proof of vaccination are no longer required. We once again welcome contributions of home-baked [or not] goodies to share at the break. Please bring your own water bottle with your name on it. Water bottles may be filled at the kitchen sink.

Contact swingintern@folkproject.org with any questions.
