This month's contradance will be held on Cuatro de Mayo, an early Cinco de Mayo celebration.
Our caller will be
Bob Nicholson and the music will be by Eileen Nicholson Kalfass and
John Wobus.
Bob Nicholson, a caller from Syracuse, has an easy-going style which is especially helpful for beginners.
And his large repertoire of contradances, squares and other dances of all types will likely include something to fit the dance's theme.

John
Wobus plays piano at contradances and jams in the NY and New England
area and is part of several groups including Fancy That and Crooked
Sixpence. Eileen
Kalfass plays fiddle and is a member of the bands Seaglass, Happy
Endings, and Continental Drift.
John
and Ellen's tunes typically include ones from New England, Scotland,
Ireland, and Quebec, but they may find something with a Mexican
flavor.
Contradancing
is a lively style of dance done to live music that is very social and
loads of fun. All
ages are welcome and no experience or dance partner is needed. The
steps are easy to learn and the caller teaches each dance.
So this
dance, with its fiesta-style decorations and Mexican treats is sure
to be fun for all ages!
