A Contra Dance for All

  • Camp Friendship 339 8th Street Brooklyn, NY, 11215 United States (map)

Join us for a dance welcoming Petrichord for their NYC debut with calling by Michael Karcher!

Petrichord is a dynamic contra dance trio based in the Washington, DC area, weaving together a number of influences to create an eminently danceable, engaging experience. Colleen Holroyd (fiddle, feet) brings her passion for Québécois, Cape Breton, and Scottish fiddle tunes to the band. Sophie Chang (cello) injects a grounding of classical training into Petrichord’s sound, along with experience gained from playing for English country dances. Rounding out the trio is Bobby LaRose (piano, mandolin), adding his love of old time and Irish music.

Petrichord will be joined by the calling of Michael Karcher. Michael has been having the time of his life calling dances and weekends around the North America since 2011. He has honed a warm and concise style of teaching and calling, to the delight of dancers across the continent.

This is a mask optional dance.
