STAFF

Clayfoot Strutters is a groove-based Contradance fusion band from Vermont. Their unique take on traditional tunes is done with a modern funky jazz rhythm that pulls you out on to the floor and demands to be danced to!
Hailing from New England, Nova is a young contra dance band that weaves the sounds of fiddle, accordion, and guitar into a rich tapestry of sound. Nova draws from both traditional repertoire and original compositions to create versatile, high energy and driving dance music.

Bob Isaacs Hails from New Jersey, has written many much-loved dances, with the main emphasis being flow and energy. His calling is also spot on, energetic and dancer focused. You'll know you are in good hands as you let go and become one with the dance.
Dana Parkinson brings her sweet, sassy playful calling style to Harvest Moon for the first time and you will be taken by her creative programming, sense of humor, and no-nonsense walkthroughs.

ACCOMODATIONS

You can request accomodations with fellow dancers on the application form. Alternatively, if a motel room or B&B is within your budget check here for reviews of local properties.


Join fellow dancers in Santa Barbara, CA, with its "best in the west" legendary Sprung Floor for an amazing contra time...
