A Contra Dance for All

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

Ahhhh, we’re so excited to welcome back some of the best from Boston to our stage! We’ll have live music from Good Company, and calling Harris Lapiroff.

Good Company one of the fastest rising contra bands in New England. They draw their material from Irish, Scottish, New England, and Quebecois folk traditions, as well as original material heavily influenced by those traditions. The band includes Helen Kuhar on guitar and vocals, Cecily Mills on Cello and vocals, and Rohan Weeden on Fiddle. They bring the playfulness and dance-ability that hallmarks good contra dance music to all of their performances, regardless of venue.

Harris Lapiroff is a caller hailing from Somerville MA. He's worn many hats through many locales in the dance community; he was an organizer of Youth Dance Weekend for 6 years and is currently on the boards of Cambridge MA's local contra dance BIDA and Pinewoods Camp. He strives for an efficient, friendly calling style that gets dancers moving as quickly as possible and then gets out of the way.
