Swingin’ Tern Contra Dances

November 19, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

$5 – $15

Contra dancing with Quena Crain, one of the founders of Swingin’ Tern Dances. Having grown up with contra and social dancing, Quena caught the dancing bug early. The joy she takes from dancing is infectious and comes through in her upbeat calling and easy teaching style. She delivers her diverse repertoire of dances in a clear, concise, warm, and personable manner.

Tonight’s live band, Chimney Swift, draws inspiration from Anglo-American songs and dance tunes, multiple Celtic traditions, a smattering of international styles, and whatever off-the-wall idea someone mentioned as a joke in practice the previous week. Chimney Swift features Avalon Zoë Madonna on accordion and vocals, Daniel Raine on cittern, ukulele, guitar, and vocals, Cecile Leroy on cello, jaw harp, and vocals, and Yaron Shragai on whistles, percussion, and vocals.

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

COVID-19 policy: Participants must show proof that they have been fully vaccinated for more than two weeks. Masking is optional.

If Morris County’s COVID-19 Community Level goes up to Orange, then masking will be required.
