Outermost Contra Dance

Outermost Contra Dance begins our 2023-2024 season with great talent and fun dancing.  Our caller is long-time Rhode Island caller, Paul Wilde who will be calling family-friendly contra dances and mixers.

Paul will be accompanied this month by an incredibly talented duo:  Rose Clancy on fiddle and Max Cohen on guitar. Rose Clancy is Chatham’s well known fiddler, performer, fiddle maker, teacher and session musician (https://www.chathamfiddlecompany.com/rose-clancy-fiddler).  Max Cohen is an accomplished finger-style guitarist, vocalist and accompanist (https://www.maxcohenmusic.com/max/).

Contra dancing is the older cousin to the square dance. No fancy footwork needed – if you can walk, you can dance!  All the dances are taught and called. If you’re new to contra dance, or just want to polish your skills be sure to come at 6:30 for a “Contra Skills” workshop.

Come to dance or come just to listen.  All are welcome.  Admission is $15, $10 for those under 30, $5 with student ID
