Join Brooklyn Contra for an afternoon of contra dancing on March 2nd, starting with a free contra lesson at 4:30. We’ll have some of the best music around from Midnight on the Water and calling from Sunny Lawrence.
If you’ve never heard pop songs layered over Scandinavian fiddle tunes, a viola take a jazz solo, or a cello lay down a fat R&B bassline, you owe it to yourself to hear Midnight on the Water (Tom Krumm, Nathan Bishop & Dani Hawkins) shift dizzyingly between instruments and styles with virtuosity, ferocity, humor, and style. With thousands of dances played between 3 uniquely versatile musicians and energetic and electric music like you've never heard before from a string trio, Midnight on the Water creates an unforgettable contra dance experience
Sunny Lawrence has been dancing in her hometown of Brooklyn since 2011 and started calling in 2023 through Brooklyn Contra’s caller training program. She brings a clear, calm, and joyful presence to the mic, always aiming to help newcomers fall in love with contra and to keep growing her beloved dance communities.
