Swingin’ Tern Contra Dances

November 18, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

$5 – $15

Contra dancing with caller Qwill Duvall with live music by the Dead Sea Squirrels.

Midwest-based QWILL DUVALL calls from coast to coast and we’re pleased to welcome them to New Jersey.

The DEAD SEA SQUIRRELS play widely for contra dances and are known for their danceable tunes arranged in medleys designed to closely match and enhance the movements of the particular contra dance being taught/called. They tend to push the boundaries of the southern style with fiddle and fiddle/guitar harmonies. Since all the musicians are also dancers, they understand the importance of the interaction between dancers and musicians, and how to use rhythm and dynamics to augment the feel and excitement of a dance.
Dead Sea Squirrels features Cathy Mason on fiddle, Craig Edwards on fiddle, banjo, and mandolin, and Henry Yoshimura on guitar.

Admission: $15 General Admission, $5 Students

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