This year we have Will Mentor, a Vermont caller known for his skill in articulate teaching and dance selection in an up beat and playful manner.

 He encourages pleasure and joy to dancers throughout the East Coast dance community.

Contra music of Quebec! Although grounded in traditional Quebec rhythms and melodies, Their music is innovative and refreshing. Tidal Wave, or Raz-de-Marée, with its cross-border personnel (Sabin Jacques and Rachel Aucoin on accordion and piano, and New England contradance stalwart Stuart Kenney on upright bass and banjo), proves that music not only transcends national boundaries, but brings people together. Prepare to be swept up in this glorious, perfect musical storm.

With the musical talent of
