Friday's family-friendly dance will feature community contras called by Adina Gordon and Louisa Engle to the playing of this year's fabulous Romp Staff Band.
No experience necessary! All ages and abilities are welcome.
Louisa Engle began calling and fiddling for dances right here at Marlboro College in the early 2000s and has been calling and playing at family contra dances and camps throughout New England ever since. She is passionate about bringing together musicians and dancers of different ages and abilities, and can often be found calling at the longstanding Village Dance sponsored by New England Dancing Masters.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 from 7:30-9:30 pm
Join us on Saturday evening for New England contra and square dances for everyone.
No experience needed; all dances will be taught. All are welcome.
Calling is by Adina Gordon. Music is by this year's fabulous Romp Staff Band.
Adina Gordon finds an outlet for her loves of travel, music, dance and silliness by calling and dancing throughout the U.S. and Canada, facilitating joy and minor chaos wherever she goes. Combining a voice that makes you WANT to do what she says with a commitment to using that power for good and not evil, Adina calls dances both old and new that cause spontaneous eruptions of joy on the dance floor. She counts it as a job well done whenever anyone says, “I wasn't sure about squares, but they're fun when you call them!”
