Bob Boardman Memorial Dance

A Contra Dance in Memory of Bob Boardman

also remembering Nancy Vivolo

with music by the Possum Carvers

and caller Carol Piening

 Carol (left) has called for us several times.  She always brings a variety of music and dance to keep everyone joyfully dancing. 
The Possum Carvers from Port Townsend have played for us many times.  It’s always nice to dance  to their music. 


This annual memorial benefit raises a significant contribution to Centrum’s “Bob Boardman Fiddle Tunes Scholarship Fund”, and gives us all a way to remember, honor, and celebrate Bob. All proceeds from this dance will go to this scholarship fund. 
People who would like to call a dance are welcome to do so.

SPECIAL DANCE!! George Marshall Calling! November 23, 2015

SPECIAL CONTRA DANCE

George Marshall

and

The Syncopaths

NOV 23, 2015.  Dance begins 7pm; intro lesson 6:30.

George Marshall was introduced to square and contra dancing in the early seventies while working as a summer trail crew volunteer in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He quickly became an avid dancer, seeking out dance venues wherever he could find them. While attending college in Amherst,Mass he founded a contra-dance band, Swallowtail, with some fellow students and began calling and playing for dances. Now a full-time musician/caller/dance teacher, George tours nationally throughout the year.  His specialty is teaching and calling the New England-style contra dances he has collected throughout the country. He is renowned for his knack of matching music to dance and for his smooth, concise teaching and presentation.

The Syncopaths bring a fresh, contemporary spin to music and songs rooted in the Scottish, Irish, and American folk traditions.  They procuce a compelling, rhythmic interplay of fiddle and mandolin, rich vocals, and unexpected colors and rhythms from the piano and bodhrán. The exuberant joy they derive from the music and each other is palpable and contagious.

 JOIN US for this excellent SPECIAL DANCE!
