A magnificent March

Mar 9, 2014Feb 5, 2022 - Ken Gagne

Thank you to everyone who came to our March dance! With many of the local colleges on spring break, students were eager to release the stress from recent midterms and finals by hitting the dance floor. The music of Agnostic Fiddle Insurgency was paired with calling by Don Heinold, marking his Worcester debut. The two fit like hand in glove, knowing just when to kick it up a notch to keep the dancers moving.

The half-time break featured an assortment of treats, including grapes, Girl Scout cookies, Crown Bakery goodies, and "blondie Snickerdoodles". Thank you to those who contributed to this banquet!

An amazing October

Oct 15, 2012Feb 5, 2022 - Ken Gagne

Thanks to everyone who made our latest dance a success! With calling by Rachel Shapiro and music by Cedar Stanistreet, Max Newman, and Julie Metcalf of Agnostic Fiddle Insurgency, Worcester's October contra dance was great fun for all those who attended, with several first-timers joining our ranks. Perhaps because nearby WPI was on their fall break, the crowd wasn't quite as big as usual, but everyone who showed up had a good time, with many staying until the end and helping to clean up — many hands make for light work!

We'll see you next on November 10!
