This dance will be called to the gender-neutral terms Larks & Robins instead of the traditional Ladies & Gents. Larks are on the Left of the couple. Robins are on the Right of the couple.
Masks and vaccinations are no longer required since Morris County remains at the Green/Low Covid case level.
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.
