Carl Levine
Carl Levine has been a familiar face on the dance floor and on the stage. He has been dancing, organizing, and calling traditional dance for thirty years. His teaching is clear and concise, and his programming is lively and interesting.
French Toast
French Toast is inspired by the gripping harmonies, driving rhythms and melodic whimsy of French Canadian music. In addition to Québécois tunes, their contra sets serve up jazzy rags, mesmerizing riffs & jaunty jigs—all great for dancing! French Toast features Helen White on flute, Anna Bosnick on fiddle, and Cynthia Shaw on keyboard.
