Ohhhh, its our favorite time of the year! Dance Flurry is just two short weeks away, so lets brush off our best dance moves! We’ll have live music from Kalidascope, and calling from Will Mentor!
For folks who might not know, Dance Flurry is the very best dance weekend west of the Mississippi, and it takes place this year from February 14-16 in Saratoga Springs, NY. We’d encourage every dancer to come on out! During the advanced dance we’ll have tips and tricks for dancing on a crowded dance floor, plus signups for ride-shares etc. to help everyone get coordinated if you still need to make a plan!
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.
