We’ll see you for our annual fall park dance! Join us for Petrichords return to NYC, with calling by our very own Alexandra Deis-Lauby!

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.

Alexandra Dies-Lauby is a NYC-based folk dancer, caller, teacher, and organizer, Alexandra is a contra dance caller who calls weekends and festivals all over the country. She tours, calling local dances for both contra and English Country Dance. She also calls community, teen, and family dances as well as weddings and parties. Her clear teaching, smooth voice, and fun dance selection delight dancers coast-to-coast.  Alex is excellent with all levels of dancers whether they just walked in the door or have been dancing since before she was born.  She has dances for all the folks!
