    Woodshed Dance - 2nd Tuesdays
    •        

    The woodshed series is an opportunity for callers (or would-be callers) and musicians (or would-be musicians) to try out new (or new-to-them) material. Callers present dances--typically English or contra--and ask the dancers for feedback on particular or general points. When it is not their turn to call, they also dance.

    The woodshed series is an opportunity for callers (or would-be callers) and musicians (or would-be musicians) to try out new (or new-to-them) material. Callers present dances--typically English or contra--and ask the dancers for feedback on particular or general points. When it is not their turn to call, they also dance. In addition to some experienced dance musicians, the band is open--best for players who can sight-read or learn by ear quickly and play up to dance tempo.

    Dancers and musicians get in free, while the callers for that evening divide the $25 rental expense for the Carriage House. There's a high proportion of discussion, trying things different ways, and so forth. Therefore, if you just want to dance, you may find the woodshed series frustrating.  At its core, this is a working session, and dance geeks enjoy it very much.
