Our Annual Holiday Waltz and Contra Ball

  • Church of the Ascension 127 Kent Street Brooklyn, NY, 11222 United States (map)

Celebrate the holiday season with a magical dance! We’ll see you for live music from Kaleidoscope, a waltz lesson at 7:00, and calling from at Richard Barnes.

Kaleidoscope is an innovative quartet that performs an ever-changing swirl of dance music. Presenting everything from traditional New England and old time American, Quebecois and Celtic fiddle tunes, to jazz, blues, Latin, and the group's own originals, Kaleidoscope is Minda Cowen on English and contra fiddle, renowned folk composer Larry Unger on guitar and banjo, Dominique Gagné on Latin and Brazilian jazz influenced flute and piano, and Marco Brehm on swinging stand-up bass. Together they can move dancers across the floor or captivate an audience with their melodic and creative approach to folk traditions.
