Contra dancing with caller Donna Hunt and live music by Petrichord.

Donna Hunt is a longtime local caller who has earned a national reputation – and we’re proud to say that she developed her calling chops at Swingin’ Tern Dances. Choosing dances with interesting choreography and variations, Donna is known for utilizing clear, concise instructions to minimize teaching time and maximize dance time. Donna infuses the dancers with confidence, regardless of their skill level, and she enjoys guiding new dancers and challenging experienced ones.

Petrichord is a dynamic contra dance trio based in the Washington, DC area, weaving together many influences to create an eminently danceable, engaging experience. Colleen Holroyd on fiddle and feet brings her passion for Québécois, Cape Breton, and Scottish fiddle tunes to the band. Sophie Chang on cello injects her classical training into Petrichord’s sound, along with experience gained from playing for English country dances. Rounding out the trio is Bobby LaRose on piano and mandolin, adding his love of old-time and Irish music.
