Callers are Gene Murrow, Bruce Hamilton, and Kalia Kliban, accompanied by a quartet of beloved musicians: Daniel Beerbohm, Earl Gaddis, Mary Lea, and Jacqueline Schwab. Special events (wine tours, kayaking, hikes, etc.) and affordable accommodations (homestays, B&Bs, inns, etc.) are available to dancers coming from afar. \nDrawing from the many Boston Centre recordings that he produced for Bare Necessities, as well as from recordings by the bands Hold the Mustard and Reunion, Gene has assembled for this year’s Ball a legacy program of “classics” comprising significant and consequential English country dances. Kalia and Bruce will do varied programs on the Friday and Tuesday surrounding the Ball. The programs will be supported and enhanced by the artistry of our musicians, who have had considerable influence on the style of English country dance music in the United States and abroad. \nThe Mad Robin weekend offers English dancers a rare opportunity to dance with three of our genre’s most highly regarded teachers and callers accompanied by exceptional music, as well as enjoy the richness of the Bay Area’s culture and climate." links: - "https://nbcds.org/mrb2024/" - "https://cdss.org/event/mad-robin-ball-weekend/" start: "2024-05-17T19:30:00-07:00" end: "2024-05-21T22:00:00-07:00" country: USA state: CA city: Petaluma styles: - ecd workshop: false social: true bands: - "Daniel Beerbohm, Earl Gaddis, Mary Lea & Jacqueline Schwab" callers: - Bruce Hamilton - Gene Murrow - Kalia Kliban organisation: North Bay Country Dance Society source: events/usa/cdss.yaml - name: Gender-Free Dance Camp links: - "https://www.lcfd.org/spring-camp-2024.html" start: "2024-06-07T15:00:00-04:00" end: "2024-06-09T16:00:00-04:00" country: USA state: MA city: Plymouth styles: - contra - ecd workshop: true social: true callers: - Maia McCormick - Scott Higgs price: $150-$400 organisation: TryContra source: events/usa/trycontra.yaml - name: Dance Trance Weekend links: - "https://www.dancetrance.ltda.us/" start: "2024-06-07T20:00:00-04:00" end: "2024-06-09T15:00:00-04:00" country: USA state: KY city: Lexington styles: - contra - ecd workshop: true social: true bands: - Hot Coffee Breakdown - Dreamdance callers: - Gaye Fifer - Joe Wilkie price: $50-$115 organisation: TryContra source: events/usa/trycontra.yaml - name: Swing into Summer links: - "http://www.swingintosummer.org/" start_date: 2024-06-14 end_date: 2024-06-16 country: USA state: MA city: Plymouth styles: - contra - ecd workshop: true social: true bands: - Countercurrent - "Miranda Weinberg, Aaron Marcus, & Carrie Rose" callers: - Gaye Fifer - Adina Gordon price: $100-$260 organisation: TryContra source: events/usa/trycontra.yaml - name: BACDS Family Week links: - "https://www.bacds.org/familyweek/" start_date: 2024-06-23 end_date: 2024-06-29 country: USA state: CA city: La Honda styles: - contra - ecd workshop: true social: true callers: - Yoyo Zhou price: $300-$975 organisation: TryContra source: events/usa/trycontra.yaml - name: July Fourth links: - "https://cds-boston-j4weekend.weebly.com/" start_date: 2024-06-27 end_date: 2024-07-01 country: USA state: MA city: Plymouth styles: - contra - ecd workshop: true social: true callers: - Lisa Greenleaf organisation: TryContra source: events/usa/trycontra.yaml - name: Pinewoods English-Scottish-Contra links: - "https://rscdsboston.org/pinewoods-esc.html" start_date: 2024-07-01 end_date: 2024-07-05 country: USA state: MA city: Plymouth styles: - contra - ecd - scd workshop: true social: true bands: - River Road callers: - Michael Karcher price: $335-$453 organisation: TryContra source: events/usa/trycontra.yaml - name: Pinewoods Labor Day Weekend links: - "https://facone.org/labor-day-weekend/labor-day-weekend.html" start_date: 2024-08-30 end_date: 2024-09-02 country: USA state: MA city: Plymouth styles: - contra - ecd workshop: true social: true callers: - Ben Sachs-Hamilton price: $365-$415 organisation: TryContra source: events/usa/trycontra.yaml - name: Adirondack Dance Weekend links: - "https://www.danceflurry.org/adirondack-dance-weekend/" start_date: 2024-09-27 end_date: 2024-09-29 country: USA state: NY city: Silver Bay styles: - balfolk - contra - ecd workshop: true social: true organisation: DanceFlurry source: events/usa/trycontra.yaml - name: Head for the Hills Dance Weekend links: - "http://www.princetoncountrydancers.org/about-hfth" start_date: 2024-11-08 end_date: 2024-11-11 country: USA state: PA city: Kresgeville styles: - contra - ecd workshop: true social: true price: $140-$240 organisation: TryContra source: events/usa/trycontra.yaml - name: Rocky Mountain Ranch Dance details: Stellar Days & Nights links: - "https://www.facebook.com/events/2506311286238510/" start: "2025-01-17T13:00:00-07:00" end: "2025-01-20T13:00:00-07:00" country: USA state: CO city: Buena Vista styles: - contra - ecd workshop: false social: true organisation: Rocky Mountain Ranch Dance source: events/usa/buena_vista.yaml
