Contra Dance with CROWFOOT and George Marshall
Saturday, 31 October, 4-6 pm; 8-11 pm; potluck 6:30 pm
Beverly Martin School, 302 W. Buffalo St., Ithaca
Hands Four Dancers is thrilled to host veteran Pioneer Valley caller George
Marshall and the Ithaca debut of the multinational band Crowfoot, which has
been heating up dance floors and concert stages across the land, including
the recent Brattleboro Dawn Dance. Adam Broome (from rural England), on
guitar, cittern, and vocals, draws inspiration from diverse wells:
Renaissance to reggae. Jaige Trudel on fiddle, cello, and vocals shows her
classical-Celtic-Appalachian roots in sweet, fiery playing. Canadian
Nicholas Williams (flutes, accordion, piano, vocals) is a scholar of world
music, from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Quebec, to North India.
Crowfoot, which melds traditional and original tunes, is known for euphoric
groove music, infectious energy, and superb, tight "ensemble" instrumentals
and vocals.
There's a 4-6 pm session for experienced dancers, a 6:30 pm potluck supper,
and a session 8-11 pm for all dancers. Newcomers are welcome; a beginner's
workshop at 7:30 pm will cover the simple steps and each dance is taught.
No need to bring a partner, but please bring clean, soft-soled shoes. Whole
event: $12 members/$15 nonmembers; afternoon only: $6/$8; evening only:
$9/$12. Info: 607-539-3174 or http://hands4dancers.org.
