Bob Isaacs & Co. & Squirrel’s Chair 39th Anniversary Dance
As we look out the Rear Window to 1984, Dial C for Contra as Swingin’ Tern and The Birds dance The 39 Steps to our 39th Anniversary. Squirrel’s Chair will leave you Spellbound and in a Frenzy without a Shadow of a Doubt. Never one to suffer Stage Fright, Bob takes us North by Northwest with his Notorious calls leaving us on the verge of Vertigo. Take it from The Man Who Knew Too Much, you’d be Psycho and under Suspicion to Sabotage this opportunity.
At the current Orange level, masks [N/KN-95 or surgical] are required on all dance lines. Our mask policy is based on the current rating for Morris County from the CDC. When the county rating is at the current Yellow or Green level, masks will be optional in all dance lines. At any dance, we may announce that masks are required in all lines.
Proof of vaccination must be presented at the door or may be sent in advance—see full Covid protocol below.
In keeping with the tradition for our anniversary dances, this night will feature several of our callers that honed their calling chops at Swingin’ Tern. The callers will be organized by Bob Isaacs who is known for his clear, concise calling. He is a prolific contra choreographer—his creative dances are called throughout the country.
