Laura Mé Smith Calling
with
Sandy Bradley and Lindon Toney
Laura Mé has been calling since the 80s, her succinct teaching and quick wit delight dancers near and far. both those new to dancing and those with many years under their feet. She is equally component in calling English Country dances and squares as well. Laura Mé is a joy to have returning to our dance again this year, we are sure you will enjoy the fun dances she will be bringing with her. When she isn’t calling dances she designs theatrical costumes.
Sandy Bradley is a terrific person with many years in the contra and folk music scene including hosting the “Sandy Bradley Potluck” on NPR, her fun and spunky personality and passion for music is reflected in her guitar playing as she easily accompanies any one around her. Paired with Lindon Toney their music will keep you on your toes all night long.
There is a workshop at 7:30pm. The dances begin at 8:00. All other dance details are on the “About Our Dance” page on this website.
