We’ll take a breather halfway through for a social intermission—the perfect time to grab some water, share a snack, and meet your fellow dancers.

Willy Clemetson grew up in Belfast and is involved in a great many growing musical projects at home and abroad, including Northern Harmony and The Well Tree, and tours with Maine-based contra dance bands Springtide and Spintuition. Willy Clemetson has distinguished himself with his peaceful and powerful approach to music, with attention to detail balanced by deep connection to the community that music creates. 

Alice Slater, originally from the UK, now lives locally in Surry and contra dance is her jam! She dances every weekend and loves sharing this joy with others, especially newcomers. Her warm and friendly teaching will have you moving and smiling all night.
